Irregular Hip/Valley And Jack Rafters - Ascending, With Jacks Mating At Hip/Valley - Calculated Industries 44080 Construction Master Pro Desktop v3.0 User Manual

Irregular Hip/Valley and Jack Rafters — Ascending, with Jacks
Mating at Hip/Valley
You're working with a 7/12 pitch and half your overall span is 4 feet.
The irregular pitch is 8/12, and the jacks need to mate at the Hip.
The maximum allowable on-center spacing is 16 inches. Find the
jack rafter sizes from smallest to largest (ascending order).
Complete the following steps:
(1) Set Preference display to "JK ASCEND" (jack sizes in ascend-
ing order);
(2) Set Preference display to "IRJK JAC-JAC" (jacks mate);
(3) Find the length of the common rafter;
(4) Find the length of the adjoining "irregular" Hip (or Valley) and
the cut angles;
(5) Find the o.c., jack lengths and cut angles on the "irregular"
pitched side;
(6) Find the o.c., jack lengths and cut angles on the "regular"
pitched side.
Note: After completing this example, you may need to reset the Preferences back to
"IRJK OC-OC" if you do not normally figure jacks in this manner. (See Preference
Settings on page 89.)
