Determine the line of maximum inclination of The line ah is known as the line of maxi- plane N with F, and its angle with F. ^^. 60 DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY 87. To determine the bevels for the correctcuts, the lengths of hip and jack rafters, andthe bevels for the purlins for a hip roof. Fig. 135 represents an elevation and planof a common type of hip roof having a pitch equal to -—- and a width of ch. ah is the center line of the hip rafter ; ^ is a cross sec-tion of the ridge ; F^ K, Z, M, are jack rafters. Hip. To find the true length of the hiprafter eh^ and the following angles: Down cut, 1: The intersection of the hipwith the ridge. Heel cut, 2: The intersection of the hipwith the plate. Side cut, 3: Intersection of the hip withthe ridge. Top bevel of hip, 4. The true length of the hip eh may be ob-tained by revolving it parallel to V, as at e-J?^or parallel to H^ as at e^h^. The down cutbevel, 5, is obtained at the same time. Thebevel of the top edge of hip is found by pass-ing a plane perpendicular to ah intersecting the planes of the side and end roofs.
