This is one of our most powerful features and the one we use the most.
How it works
- Enter first and second roof pitch
- Rafter spacing (example 16" centre)

With these 4 values entered the app will generate.
1- A 2d example, to scale of what the Valley will look like.
2- Gets the ridge length with the exact angles.
3- Gets the sleeper board length (colour red) with both angles.
4- Gives you a list of every single rafter lengths (colour blue) with both angles and bevels.
5- Gets the saw bevel angles if you want to bevel your sleeper.

Just like that you have every single measurement in seconds, with the exact angles. Every piece you need to build your valley.

This way, if you wanted you could pre-cut all of your pieces on the floor, then go up on the roof once, and have have every piece installed in minutes.
