Can anyone give me the steps to calculate the flat plate dimensions of umbrella roof plate gores? I did calculate them with a Smoleys using logarithms years ago long before hand held calculators were available. I have looked over some of the steps using Autocadd but not sure they will yield the right dimensions. The ones I have looked at describe an elevation cut thru the roof and a plan drawn above. The problem I see with that is the plan diameter should be drawn using a radius equal to the arc length along the centerline of the gore. This does not allow the plan to align with the elevation end points. What am I missing?
