Calculating the Beveling angle for Regular Hip rafters

If you what it to be perfect you can always divide the unit rise by the hip rafters unit length and then using the tan-1 function find the angle that corresponds to the quotient. For a 12/12 roof that would be tan-1(12 / 20.78) or tan-1(.5774) or 30°. You can get the unit length right off the square.

You can also find it by using tan-1(sin(hip angle)). Knowing that the hip angle of a 12/12 roof is 35.26° this would work out to tan-1(sin(35.26)) = 30.00°.
