About This Topic

Solving spatial problems related to roof structures, including finding the true shape of roof surfaces and the dihedral angle between adjacent planes.

Key Questions

  1. How do we determine the dihedral angle between two intersecting roof planes?
  2. What methods are used to find the true shape of a pitched roof surface?
  3. How do we locate the shortest distance between two skew lines in a structural framework?
