Correct way to fix roof hip rafter orientation?

[LandonwalterRXH47]

I have watched several videos on the subject and they often leave the hip rafter tilted in their model which isn't accurate representation of the framing.

If I select the underside of this roof line as my work plane and then use the pick line tool to set the rafter location what settings would I need to change to get the rafter centered and oriented at the correct angle?

Best way to approach this is by modeling a Roof and using Beams Systems on the Faces (Work Planes) of the Roof, and using Pick Line Tool to place 3D Beams along Hips, Ridges, etc.

Thanks that solved it.

I think what happened is I needed to adjust the placement plane to something that was flat.

When you are using a beam system for the rafters on the faces of the roof, do you know how I can shift the whole layout if needed?

Set Justification to Direction Line, draw the Line and move it.

Not sure I understand your question. Is this by chance what you are asking about?

The default layout spaces everything evenly.

I need the boundaries to stay the same but to shift the rafters 6in to the right so that they align to the sides of the floor joists.

Goes from looking like this...

I can shift once rafter at a time, I just don't know how to shift the whole assembly.

Already posted above.  But here are some screenshots.

Changing the beam system justification to "Direction Line" and adjusting its placement solved the issue.

Thanks again.
