The Attachment at the Bottom is a PDF of the Vertical Structure Depths for Common Imperial Lumber sizes and LVL / TJI sizes at different Roof Pitches

which I made recently with Forum Member "Chopsaw's" help  ( Thanks - 'cos Trig. ain't my thing ! ). 

 

( VSD is VRD in older versions of Chief )

 

VSD as defined in the Reference Manual :

 The Vertical Structure Depth is defined by measuring a plumb line across the roof plane structure. The degree of pitch affects the Vertical rafter width.

The greater the pitch, the greater the vertical structure depth. ( *** See 3rd pic below or the 3rd page of the PDF for Clarification )

 

Below are also some pics of the 3 Page PDF for Reference :
