Why do you add 7/16 of an inch to jack rafters on a Construction Master Pro? And is this always a good shortcut? ➡️ Because the CM Pro gives you the centerline length, adding 7/16” to this amount gives you the long point lengths. ➡️ Yes and No: Adding 7/16” is a good estimate for shallow pitched regular hips and valleys using 2x stock. But as the roof gets steeper, this estimate gets less and less accurate. | Calculated Industries
