The Roof Framing Help Desk app/Bot is designed to serve as a knowledge base for roof framing techniques and to calculate rafter angles and rafter lengths. It can calculate the rafter angles for equal-pitched, unequal-pitched, and polygon roofs, such as Octagon roofs. It is also a knowledge base for roof framing. Enter a keyword like 'irregular hip roof,' and it will provide you with a link to a web page with explanations on laying out an irregular hip roof. Or enter a keyword like devioement-hip shift, and it will provide you with a link to a webpage for devoiement. Or how to lay out a hip rafter precisely.
