As usual, according to this thread, there is more than one authority on how to measure a roof and what constitutes a hip roof. Thus we have all the confusion and ambiguity as to how to complete these reports. All of this he said she said stuff is ridiculous. Until guide lines are set, in writing, whether everyone agrees with them or not, this craziness will continue to go on. But, then again, it probably won’t much matter, as the insurance industry is trying to get rid of all of the credits in five years anyway
i have not stated that I what the OIR means.
I am just telling you what a perimeter is.
You can sign your name to anything you wish.
Like I said great form EH.!
The perimeter measurement is for a 2 dimensional object. You are using a 3 dimensional object.
I seem to remember John covering this in the conference.
John…
Measure around the perimeter as if it was a two dimensional drawing(outline). Divide the length of the pink lines by the perimeter.
I was referring to a home with a second story roof that is inside the first story roof line.
I agree with Eric’s calculations above. I go with HIP.

So the line in the center middle of the sketch that are not colored (18,3) is counted as hip rather than non-hip?
Interesting…
