Hi all. Any one used them? I've seen part of some very old ones online and they look pretty clear but don't know what the scope of the modern ones are.

I'm looking to build a workshop and the roof span is 6m, 30 degree pitch. Do the span tables cover any truss designs or only basic spans? I would like to do a cut roof for a few reasons but don't know if I should just go straight for a structural engineer or if the Trada tables are ok on spans of this size?

Just basic spans, proper roof trusses are engineered and calculated. Usually the timber supplier can do this for you at a cost.
