Hip roof framing

[Al Launier]

I constantly run into the same problem whenever I have a hip roof that has an intersecting gable dormer located at the end of the hip roof. The problem is that the hip rafter is truncated at the peak of the gable ridge, rather than running all the way to the corner of the building. And the corner of the roof, which includes the gable framing, is inadequately supported by the gable framing.
Since the hip rafter is one of the major structural members of a hip roof,the gable roofing should be subordinated to the hip roof. As it is, I must modify the roof framing on the layout each time to reflect this. Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks for your response,
Al
