These videos have been really helpful and I’ve asked you a couple of questions in one of your other videos. I have a question about the valleys. So they would be the same length as the hip rafters even tho they sit on the swallow side that doesn’t have a built up wall plate? I really do appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions
Hi Dillon. Yes, the hips and valleys have the same overall length. This is because they are both laid out from the fascia to the ridge and run at the same angle (parallel to each other) relative to the main ridge. They do hit the plate at different spots. The run of the hip from fascia to building line is longer than that of the valley. This extra bit of run makes up the extra rise. Hope that makes sense!
Very good instruction on unequal roof pitches, not many on this subject on RUclips. Where are the D2L printouts that are mentioned in both of your videos?

Hi Tom. Thanks for your comment. The printouts are available to students enrolled as Intermediate level Carpenter Apprentices at Fleming College.
