Trirectangular Tetrahedron Tangent Prism

While going thru the Trèteaux Angles -- Trestle Angles -- trèteau à devers, Golden Rhombus Parallelogram Roof, Rhombicosidodecahedron Hip Rafters Study and Warlock Cut for Rotated Hip Rafters, Joe and I have looked at the trigonometric relationships of  geometric drawings of roof framing kernels folded and unfolded. Prismatic foot prints for rotated rafters. Prism Planes, folded and unfolded. Trirectangular Tetrahedrons for the hip rafter head cuts. By putting all of these drawings together it results in an geometric drawing of the tangent handrailing system. I envision W & A Mowat drawing something like these drawings if they had a 3D CAD program.




 They could start with a folded  roof framing kernel.


Develop the roof framing kernel into a prism.



 Develop the prism into a Trirectangular Tetrahedron.


Wire frame of Trirectangular Tetrahedron.

Develop the Trirectangular Tetrahedron into an roof surface with the pitch of plank for the tangent handrailing.

Then remove the one edge triangle of the Trirectangular Tetrahedron and label the direction of the ordinates for the direction of the minor and major axis of the ellipse on the roof surface.


Draw the minor axis of the ellipse on the roof surface.

Dimension the semi major axis on the roof surface. 
Semi Major axis of ellipse on roof Surface = Radius of Tangents ÷ cos(Pitch of Plank).



Then draw the ellipse on the roof surface.

Drawing showing the relationships of the roof framing kernel, prism plane, trirectangular tetrahedron  and the pitch of plank for the tangent handrailing.

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.
