    Roofing timber calculations

    I am trying to measure the timbers and areas required for a roof construction I am working on.

    Could someone help me please I know i need to be using trigonometry, but this is not my strong point.

    I have attached a spreadsheet showing the layout.

    That drawing is not very clear to me.
    Is that suppose to be a Plan view??
    A drawing showing some other elevations, with a few dimensions might get you a better response.

    Please find attached an Isometric Projection of My interpretation of your Drawing plan.
    If not correct please, supply a similar view with the correct interpretation.
