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.

Here's an example print out of the calculations returned for an unequal sloped roof.

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