I have quite a complex roof to construct on my Dordogne farmhouse and am having trouble with junctions on rafters, purlins, king post trusses etc using angled beams, would I maybe do better constructing each beam as a mini roof element ? How do all you timber framers work it out ?

Take a look at FrameWright or OBJECTiVE.
