If the wall plates are all square of equal lengths then the hipped rafters would form a pyramid shape like the picture above normally a roof is rectangle and there are more yellow common rafters.

A hip roof hip roof or hipped roof is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls usually with a fairly gentle slope.
A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid.
Thus a hipped roof house has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof.
Hip and valley roof framing is no so complex as compared to hip roof framing procedures.
The first step in the process of erecting the hip roof is to get the ridge beam into place at the top of the roof.
This video explains in detail how to build a hip roof.
Now outline the biggest rectangle inside the building layout.

The slope or slant of the roof is almost always the same and hence they are symmetrical at their centerlines.
The longer sides have a trapezoidal shape while the sides at the front and back have a triangular shape and are called hip ends.
Now draw the centerlines for all rectangles that are formed inside.
Hip rafters are the diagonal rafters that span from the ridge at the top down to the corners of the roof.
Place the 4 6 common rafters in their designated positions along the 2 longest walls and nail them firmly to the wall with a nail gun.
First of all you need to design the layout of building.
Here roofs are constructed with an angle of 90 degrees.
