I surveyed a barn which had a very small percentage of the joints relieved in the square rule method. That is, it was mostly mill rule. However, I still called it a square rule frame even though only two or three members needed the square rule to find the "inner timber" of the "out of tolerance" timbers. Just my opinion.
