Setting out some trusses for a mate’s shed. The shaded triangle is a notch to locate the rafter on the wall plate. Using the measure function to help mark things out.
The measurements don’t add up. Rafter width is correct at 102mm*, and I’ve made a sketch point at the notch to measure its maximum depth, which is given as 53.47mm. That’s half the width of the rafter - nowhere near correct. What’s gone wrong?
*Actual drawing is 10:1 scale, so 102mm is drawn as 10.2, etc.
