If I have an insulated roof, at say 300mm deep, when it gets beyond the external wall I need it to be shallower so that I don't have a massively deep fascia.
What is the cleanest most efficient way of doing this?

So would you then effectively have 2 roofs one on top of the other?

You might also look at Eric Bobrow's approach which uses SEOs and gives you more flexibility. https://youtu.be/lmgGoPhvl_Q

This also works with scissor trusses or coffered ceilings where the interior ceiling is at a different pitch than the roof pitch. The ceiling of course consists of the ceiling finish and insulation. The roof composite contains the shingles, sheathing and top chord of truss / rafter. I also have a composite that I use for the minimum ventilation / thickness at the eaves and then SEO the ceiling insulation.
Cool thanks.

Though that's probably more effort than I'd want to put in for planning drawings, that's definitely what I'd do for regs/construction drawings.
