How to develop the position of your Hip, Valleys and ridges in an elevation

My instructor references your video in their class. Almost ten years ago and your explanation is better than my instructor in 2021. My instructor is highly knowledgeable and highly educated, but terrible at instructing. Thank you so much. I was lost on this topic in class! After watching your videos, I will be walking in to class tomorrow understanding this topic much better.

Hi Mate, glad to hear that they are helping, i did update these videos so not sure if you have seen these. There are 4 new ones all up starting with this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6e2pnegeZeNqdE

[@loose_nuts_are_faster]

Oh wow! Thanks for that. I will watch those on the way to school today. I may have too much confidence walking in to class! ;)

[@matyezda]

[@Buildsum]

like your work very much-suggest to indicate WATER FLOW on layout for checking and visualisation...ridge-away perpendicular,hip-away at an angle,fascia-inward perpendicular,valley-inward at an angle,gable-parallel.All water flow arrows should check with roof lines.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Din Thanks for the suggestion however I am not familiar with the correct procedure for indicating water flow. I will have to do some research and considering making another video to demonstrate this.

for the oblique angle roof, the ridge coming off it doesn't seem straight (very minimal). I could be wrong... I noticed when that ridge was drawn... just wondering if it is dead straight?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, the ridge has to be dead straight, must have just been the view in the video. hope this helps

Hellooo how to know which triangle should be used on drawing the roofplan and its elevation?

[@Buildsum]

The roof plan is always the bisection of the corner do 45 degress in most cases. For the elevation it is the pitch of the roof. Hope this helps

[@apollo-gl9ox]

hi! did you use 45° for the rafters in plan while 30° for the rafters in elevation?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, yes i did

[@thon2199]

What kind of roof shape is this?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, which one? The first one is a straight forward hip roof, the second is a Broken Hip and Valley in a U shape while the third is a Broken Hip and Valley with a Oblique Hip end. Hope this helps

[@1998xxbadboyxx]

What is the program that you're using?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, I use SketchUp for all my videos

[@1998xxbadboyxx]
