    I know so many shortcuts to make that process shorter but. No cap. The best video I've ever watched on KZread. I learnt from your process and I learnt from your errors. How can I get such a great experience from learning something. Thanks a lot. I hope you're considering creating more content because this helped me a lot. I knew nothing about these roofs but learnt so much and I haven't even finished yet. (Exam in 8 hrs.)

    Hi Mr Cargill, thanks for your video. Just to clarity does the hip rafter always have to be at 45deg? if not how do you determine the angle?

    The angle of the hip depends on the angle of the 2 roof sections it is joining. If they are the same pitch, then it is 45 degrees. If they are different pitches, then it will vary depending on the pitchs.

    When I do the 45 degree lines from one side, they don't line up with 45 degree lines in the other corner

  • @mr.cargill

    @mr.cargill

    3 жыл бұрын

    Good day, if you mean that your 45 degree lines on the left are not meeting up with the ones one right exactly in the centre then you would have to check to ensure that your roof or the section of the roof that you are drawing is a perfect rectangle. If you're saying that the 45 degree lines are not meeting up with the ones in the opposite corner, this will only happen if your building is square and that would be a pyramid roof and not a hip roof like the one in the video. Let me know if my comment helped.

    The floor plan has to be represented in the roof plan in broken lines and also you need the outer walls of the floor plan to get the overhang of the roof. Turning off the floor plan after getting the overhang could be done though.
