Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof

Rhombus

In Euclidean geometry, a rhombus (◊), plural rhombi or rhombuses, is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length.

A quadrilateral with four sides of equal length.
The two diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.


Golden rhombus


In geometry, a golden rhombus is a rhombus whose diagonals are in the ratio \frac{p}{q}=\varphi\!, where \varphi\! is the golden ratio.

Hip Rafter Diagonal A  ÷ Hip Rafter Diagonal B = Golden Ratio = 1.61833


Rhombic triacontahedron




In geometry, the rhombic triacontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 30 rhombic faces. It has 60 edges and 32 vertices of two types. It is a Catalan solid, and the dual polyhedron of the icosidodecahedron.



The ratio of the long diagonal to the short diagonal of each face is exactly equal to the golden ratio, φ, so that the acute angles on each face measure2 tan−1(1/φ) = tan−1(2), or approximately 63.43°. A rhombus so obtained is called a golden rhombus.

Hamp Stevens, an mathematical artist asked for help with the hip rafter head cuts on his Parallelogram Roof. The roof is based on the face of the "dual" of an "Icosidodecahedron", which is an "Archimedean Solid". The dual of an Icosidodecahedron is known as a "Rhombic Triacontahedron" and it consists of 30 parallelograms. He's only using one of the parallelograms for the ground plan of hip roof. This parallelogram is an golden rhombus. With the four edges equal in length, the diagonals of the parallelogram are perpendicular and the eave angle, arctan(2) =63.43494° , produces the golden ratio of 1.61803399 for the diagonals of the parallelogram.

First I drew out the roof using traditional roof framing geometry. The hip rafter side cuts at the foot of the hip rafter were correct, however the side cut angle for hip rafter A was not correct. This is still puzzling to me. If the hip rafter side cut angle for hip rafter B is correct, why didn't the traditional geometry layout technique work for the hip rafter side cut angle for hip rafter A.

The ground plan for the golden rhombus parallelogram is easy to layout. Make a triangle with the base leg 1/2 the length of the other leg and it automatically forms a triangle with the 63.43494° eave angle.












The intersection of the two hip rafter runs are perpendicular, so the miter angle for the two hip rafters in plan view are 45°.

Hip Rafter Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(R1) ÷ tan(Plan Miter Angle))
Hip Rafter A Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(18) ÷ tan(45)) = 43.56300
Hip Rafter B Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(27.73233) ÷ tan(45)) = 41.51304

Saw Blade Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(18°) ÷ tan(43.56300°) = 45.00°
Saw Blade Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(27.73233°) ÷ tan(41.51304°) = 45.00°








Hip Rafter A
Roof Eave Angle = 63.43490
SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle = 31.71750
S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle = 31.71750
DD = Main Plan Angle = 31.71745
D = Adjacent Plan Angle = 31.71745
R1 = Hip Rafter Slope Angle = 18.0000Hip Rafter foot Side Cut Angle  = 30.44636°
Hip Rafter foot Saw Blade Bevel Angle  = 58.28255°
Hip Rafter peak Side Cut Angle = 43.56300°
Hip Rafter peak Saw Blade Bevel Angle  = 45.00°

Hip Rafter B
Roof Eave Angle = 116.56510
SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle = 31.71750
S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle = 31.71750
DD = Main Plan Angle = 58.28255
D = Adjacent Plan Angle = 58.28255
R1 = Hip Rafter Slope Angle = 27.73233
Hip Rafter foot Side Cut Angle = 55.07574°
Hip Rafter foot Saw Blade Bevel Angle  = 31.71745°
Hip Rafter peak Side Cut Angle  = 41.51304°
Hip Rafter peak Saw Blade Bevel Angle  = 45.00°


Saw Blade Bevel Angle @ Foot = arctan(cos(18°) ÷ tan(30.44636°) = 58.28255°
Saw Blade Bevel Angle @ Peak = arctan(cos(27.73233°) ÷ tan(55.07574°) =  31.71745°

My 4x4 scrap test model. It's harder screwing the hip rafters together correctly than cutting them. This model isn't perfect, but the 45° saw blade bevel angle works. It's a typical polyhedron. If the cuts aren't 100% correct, them it will show in the assemblage of the edge pieces.

Layover Valley Rafter Basics

Before I get into the Hexenschnitt for the Layover Valley Rafter I needed to review the basic geometry that defines the layover valley rafter. I needed to make sure I could draw the layover valley rafter correctly in plan view (ground plan). Here's one method of a basic drawing using the layover valley rafter backing triangle to position the layover valley rafter material on the roof surface that defines the  layover valley rafter in plan view. The  layover valley rafter top bevel is easily defined by extending the  layover valley rafter backing triangle to the top of the  layover valley rafter. The other  layover valley rafter line in plan view is defined by the bottom edge of the  layover valley rafter material sitting on the  layover valley rafter backing triangle. (Roof Surface). The  layover valley rafter plan view lines at the intersection of the two roofs. I tried this method for drawing the  layover valley rafter, but this method seems to be slow of a process for determinin

Hip Rafter Edge Bevel and Backing Angle

In complex roof framing there are 7 main roof framing angles. Hip Rafter Backing Angle Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle Plain Titl (DP) Main Plan Angle Adjacent Plan Angle  Main Profile Rafter Slope Angle Adjacent Profile Rafter Slope Angle In this article I will discuss the hip rafter backing angle and the valley sleeper bevel angle. These two angles determine the miter angle and and saw blade bevel angles for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are plumb to the earth and for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are skewed from the eave line. A thorough knowledge of these two angles is critical in complex roof framing using geometry or trigonometry. The hip rafter edge bevel was avoided in the 12th century on some roof structures by rotating the hip rafter into the roof surface plane. However, by avoiding the hip rafter edge bevel, the carpenters-builders had to have a knowledge of the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle. They didn't call it the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle, but it's the same

Layover Valley Rafter Hexenschnitt #3

In the book Das neue Buch vom alten Wissen der Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing Geometry by Bernd Küppers I'm stuck on page 23. The geometry in the book, just doesn't return the correct miter angle for the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut (Hexenschnitt). I don't know if I'm drawing it incorrectly, or the BE (Bottom Edge Plane of the Layover Valley Rafter) should be drawn differently. Similar drawing at File: Kehlbohle mit Hexenschnitt.jpg There's 3 canted planes that define the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut Miter Angle. The main roof surface, the square tail fascia plane of the main roof and the the square tail fascia plane of the adjacent roof.  I think the problem with my geometric drawings is defining the intersection of the roof surface with the adjacent  square tail fascia plane.
