Squaring building lines example the picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7.
The mean roof height would be the average of 12 plus 22 67 or 17 33 as shown on the building plans.
From the eaves to the high end this is a shed roof.
Architectural elements that do.
