Note: Existing rafters are cut immediately.

Note: Rafters intersected by hip rafters or valley rafters are divided (when you add a dormer to a rafter roof, for example). Example

Note: When the hip rafter or valley rafter is created, the top of the rafter will automatically adjust to the top of the planes. Usually, this results in a bend in the top surface of the rafter.

Note: You can use Adjust Hip, Valley Rafter in V-Shaped Manner to modify hip rafters and valley rafters so that their bottom side adjusts in a V-shaped manner to the roof pitch.
