The Hip & Valley package consists of programs for creating a layout showing the plan view, elevation of vertical plane, elevation of hip or valley rafter and a larger scale detail of the purlin connection. This package is for developing purlin connections where the purlin is level and canted with the flange in the plane of the roof. There are seven different hip and valley connections to choose from. Four that sit on top of the rafter and three that frame into the web. All bevels, cuts and dimensions are given with the connection completely detailed.

Below is a list of some of the features in the Hip & Valley package.
