nice job ... and i think order of operation would necessitate to make everything roof related first on large floor areas, then set aside the completed roof parts, and then make the walls so when done with walls you just put on top of them one by one the roof parts you made prior..
Yes... I am probably not as clear as I should be, my profession background is computer science and I am also KG6AFF amatour radio background and wanting to build geodesic dome homes two - three in 275ft^2 range and octagon homes also in small area first before building a big one of each... so I studied a lot from everyone nice enough to make these great videos, and making the roof parts before making the perimeter or interiour walls has the advantage of having the entire floor available to lay out the roof parts test and pre "work" safely on the ground with lots os space and safety not falling off later from work I could have done on the ground before, then once I can't do any more prep ahead work with roof sections then I plan to set them aside having completed those parts for as far as possible then I would build the perimeter and interiour walls and then uplift the completed sections, probably just simple every 16in recurring parts, i don't know what they are called, but just lifting those in place and affixing them t each other and nailing down plywood on top of them would be steps for A frame type shed or home constructions... my plans for octagon house is similar to a point only and gets complicated after that.... my geodesic dome home building will be more like a furniture wood screw and glue build than a traditional home build seen on youtube... but I can learn a lot watching these great ideas... @@aarontravieso7784
This works as long as there are no changes in the wall design or roof design before the roof needs to be set. But you are right that is a common way it is done. It can help with layout too if you aren't as familiar with roof layout because you can sort of draw the roof on the floor.
This is gold. The most comprehensive explanation I have seen on YT to date.

Could you explain why making roof prior to walls is beneficial? Is it for speed of assembly?

@@KG6AFF thank you 👍🏿

How can I see the hip build?
That will be my next building basics video.
