Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer Home Improvement

 

This type hip framing is used as an alternative to the step down hip, the California hip is similar in span capability and field installation. The base portion of each truss inside the girder is the same, except that the sloping top cord of each successive truss is extended upward greater amounts to form the slope intersection. Corner and end jacks are used to form the area outside the girder.
