Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof #5

Joes' drawings and notes of splitting the roof surface of the Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof. This method is similar to the Rhombicosidodecahedron Hip Rafters blog where the roof is cut into roof surface pieces, triangles, squares, pentagons, with the miter line of the roof  being  the sum of the jack rafter side cut angles at the peak  divided by 2. The hip rafters will be different widths, but for the parallelogram the hip rafters are centered on the hip rafter run line. This method also results in the width of the hip rafter backing length on the roof surface of the hip rafters being equal.

Here's a drawing showing this method. There's a difference in the width of the hip rafters, but it's not much of a difference.



There's 3 ways of mitering hip rafters and this method can be used on polyhedron's as well, where the plan angles are not equal, like the Rhombicosidodecahedron.

3 different ways of cutting the hip rafters head cuts on any roof surface.
  1. The normal way using R4P, hip rafter side cut angle at peak of hip rafter, but the hip rafter miter cuts will be different lengths for plan angles that are not equal.
  2. Using the hip rafter miter line in plan view, like my online script, or using traditional layout geometry.
  3. Bisecting the roof surface, like Joe's drawings.

Rhombicosidodecahedron Hip Rafters

Rhombicosidodecahedron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, the rhombicosidodecahedron, or small rhombicosidodecahedron,
is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces.

Rhombicosidodecahedron



Archimedean solid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, an Archimedean solid is a highly symmetric, semi-regular
convex polyhedron composed of two or more types of regular polygons meeting
in identical vertices. They are distinct from the Platonic solids,
which are composed of only one type of polygon meeting in identical vertices,
and from the Johnson solids, whose regular polygonal faces do not meet in identical vertices.

The same as cutting roof sheathing. The hip rafters will be different sizes and the hip rafters will not be centered on the hip rafter run line.

Rhombicosidodecahedron Roof  Sheathing with a SkillSaw

  2. Cut 1 equilateral triangle with edge lengths of 12". 60° roof sheathing angles and 30° jack rafter side cut angles on the roof surface. Hip Rafter Backing Angle = Saw Blade bevel Angle = 14.98°
  3. Cut 1 triangle for the pentagon side piece. Two legs at 12" and a base leg of 19 7/16". 36° roof sheathing angles and 54° jack rafter side cut angles on the roof surface. Hip Rafter Backing Angle = Saw Blade bevel Angle = 22.39°

Les Haras Strasbourg

Patrick Moore, Le Canadien 'L'Ami du Trait', the first North and South American Compagnon Passant Charpentier. , helped with the restoration of the Les Haras Strasbourg, horse stud farm in France, and shared some pictures of the restoration. The roof framing  design is intriguing with the rotated purlin plates and the purlin wind braces.  As I was going thru the pictures of the roof framing I decided to draw out some of the roof framing design to see if there was something that I didn't understand about the roof framing. It's an overlay roof  with the purlin rafters supporting the roof rafters. The roof design didn't present anything that I didn't understand geometrically, except for the horizontal joist with the notch for the purlin plates where the hip rafter is located.

Patrick Moore's Historical Carpentry Website

The first time I dimensioned the angle at this location I thought I had the wrong angular dimension. However, after using the trigonometric formula for rotating vertical planes the angular dimension is correct. This is a new angle for me. The notch in the common rafter joist is the angle of the roof slope, 33.69007° in these drawings. Rotating the vertical plane by 45°, or the plan angle results in a vertical plane angle of 43.31386°. This would have been drawn out using traditional layout geometry by the French carpenters and they wouldn't have cared what the actual angle was. As long as the geometry was correct. However, this angle is not present in the Timber Framing Angles.

Maybe, we could call it R8?

While your at Patrick's website be sure to watch the restoration of the Les Haras Strasbourg videos. Here's a screenshot of some pretty big crown-gutter molding. I wonder if they have any eave to rake cut miters on this building? Look at the end grain of the crown-gutter molding. It doesn't get any better than this for 250 year old timbers.




Miter and Saw Blade Bevel Angles For Hip Rafters

Miter & Saw Blade Bevel Angles For Hip Rafters with Equal Length Miter Lines

This online calculator can be used for unequal pitched roofs, Platonic Solids, Archimedean Solids, Polyhedrons or Parallelogram Roofs. The main objective of the calculator is to find the bevel angles on the top edge of unbacked hip rafter that will produce equal length miter lines on the roof surface. 

To calculate the equal length miter line on the roof surface the calculator needs 3 roof slope angles that are perpendicular to the eave/gutter line and 2 eave/deck angles. The bevel angles returned by the calculator are only for one side of the hip rafter. If the roof is an equal sloped roof then the bevel angle can be used on both sides of the hip rafter. However, the bevel angles can be different for hip rafter A and hip rafter B.

Calculations for the hip rafter miter & bevel angles:
  1. Calculate the plan angles for both hip rafters using the 3 different roof slope angles.
  2. There will be 4 plan angles. 2 for each hip rafter. We're interested in plan angles 2 & 3.
  3. Calculate the plan angle  at the peak of the hip rafters in plan view.
  4. 180 - (plan_angle_h2 + plan_angle_h3)
  5. Calculate the hip rafter offset perpendicular to the hip rafter run line based on the width of the hip rafter and plan angles.
  6. HROP_A = ((hip_rafter_width × sin(plan_angle_h2)) ÷ sin(180 - plan_angle_h1 - plan_angle_h2)) × cos(plan_angle_h1)
  7. HROP_B = ((hip_rafter_width × sin(plan_angle_h3))  sin(180 - plan_angle_h3 - plan_angle_h4)) × cos(plan_angle_h4)
  8. Calculate the 2 triangles at the peak of the hip rafters in plan view, based off the hip rafter offset perpendicular line to the hip rafter run line.
  9. After calculating the 2 triangles at the peak,  the plan angles at the peak are determined.
  10. Then we calculate R5B & R5P using the plan angles at the peak.
  11. R5P_A = arctan(tan(R1_A) × cos(peak_plan_A_angle_1))
  12. R5P_B = arctan(tan(R1_B) × cos(peak_plan_B_angle_1))
  13. R5B_A = arctan(tan(R1_A) × cos(plan_angle_h2))
  14. R5B_B = arctan(tan(R1_B) × cos(plan_angle_h3))
  15. Calculate the bevel angles on the top edge of the unbacked hip rafters.
  16. R4P_A = arctan(cos(R1_A) ÷ tan(peak_plan_A_angle_2))
  17. R4P_B = arctan(cos(R1_B) ÷ tan(peak_plan_B_angle_2))
  18. Then calculate the saw blade bevel angles for each hip rafter.
  19. SBBA_A = arctan(cos(R1_A) ÷ tan(R4P_A))
  20. SBBA_B = arctan(cos(R1_B) ÷ tan(R4P_B))

Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof #4

The Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof broken down into prisms for the unbacked shoulder of the hip rafters. We can miter the hip rafters several different ways, but the main objective is to miter the hip rafter so the lengths of the miter are the same length.

Standard right angled prism for the Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof. The miter line is the common rafter slope run line, perpendicular to the eave line. If we used this miter line method then the  hip rafters would have to be different widths to have the lengths of the hip rafter miter lines be equal in length.





Prism using the intersection of the hip rafters in plan view as the miter line. Using this miter line the lengths of the hip rafter miter lines are equal.





Angles that are constant using either method:
R1,DD,SS,P2,C5 and R5B being the most usable angle in the development of the prisms for the unbacked hip rafter.
