I would like to know how to step out hips and valleys with a framing square.
Iknow how to step out common rafters and figure jack rafters,but not hips or vallyes.
i think you have to increase your run on the square from 12" to ???.I also believe the run would change with every pitch, but im lost.
If anyone could help with these i would be more than happy.


thank you.

Hi Smiddy,
Change the 12" to 17" for the rise for hips and valleys, that should the problem.
