thanks for all the posts everyone.

Will, I look forward to reading the article. That reminds me of something....

Gabel, that is a good post. Thank you. The HAP stuff is kinda what I was talking about. Your info is helpful.

You guys are right about the building corner. As the discrepancy in pitches magnify the hip falls further and further from the building corner. It does sometimes look funny when it crosses a plate 1/2' from the corner!

I feel confident about doing all this with no overhang including irregular plans, different pitches and such. More tinkering is definetly involved with the overhang aesthetically and mechanically.

Back to the drawing board..... I might just have two trusses as bmike suggested, put a ridge in there, equal pitches, equal overhang, Voila! but is fun to mess around with it.
