Descriptive geometry. Finding true shape of an object, in this case triangles formed by the structural members. Took this engineering class 20 years ago in college. Had a 4.0 GPA. I think at least 5 people quit the program because of this class. As I'm watching it now, brings back vague memories of what I used to know so well. Never needed it for my job. Now it seems way over my head, sadly. I'm trying to design my future house and came across your channel. I'll be watching every single video you posted. Very informative. So far, this video seems the most complex.
I'm watching this the second time now, after I finished watching another tutorial (ruclips.net/video/DXFn1XNMNME/видео.html) and it all falls into place. Exciting!
Hi Mate, thanks for you comments, glad to hear that the videos are helpful. I find myself looking back at the videos as well when I need to teach this stuff again.
Aren't the edge bevel angles for the long and short hips, and common end rafter already given in the roof plan? All four (triangles) are in true shape. Hence, there is no need to make projections for those, unless I'm missing something. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mate, Yes you are correct, not sure what i was thinking when i did them. I was always taught the projection method and was only shown the triangles method later.
Amazing videos thank you! You've really helped me understand roofing geometry. Lots of people have tried but your explanations are so clear. Any chance you could include how to work out the backing angle for an oblique hip? Thanks again.
This is very well illustrated and explained in get detail , your many videos are fantastic . would you consider doing one on hopper development ? it would be much appreciated .
Hi Tom, that is a great idea I have had a piece of timber in my shed with the instructions on how to bevelop the angles for a hopper using Direct method. I will have to see if I can find it an turn it into a video.
Hi, because the Hips are different lengths the will have different bevels, the ones at the 6 minute mark are for the shorter of the 2 hips. Hope this helps

Man your good.
At around six minutes that's finding the plumb cut for both side of the hips
