Can you calculate hip rafters with this software?
How do you enter loadings for a hip roof where the roof joists are only attached to the rafters? ie a foot above the wall plate. Thanks |

Rafter design currently is outside the scope of SuperBeam. As a rafter is an inclined member the design process consists of resolving the applied load(s) into a perpendicular load (causing bending) and an axial load (causing compression), the combined bending and compression then being checked
