Create Draped Roof Plane Tut I   Cut Rafters Tut II

In Tut II, step #20, I say, With the 4 Rafters Selected, choose the Scale tool and click on the red box
in the left center end. This screenshot shows what I mean.

You see each face of the yellow boundary has 9 little boxes. Grab the left center one (Red in the S shot) click, move it a little bit, then type in -1, and hit Enter. This will Mirror your selection. Very handy technique I use all the time.

 

Click either of the 3D Models below (the html version is much better than the pdf) and you can see how I solved the issue of a few of the Jacks, and the Hips, actually ending up above the beam tops. I just added two 4x4s in the corners on top of the beams. When you zoom in you'll see that the Hips only end up with a very small seat cut. All the rafters end up with different height seatcuts I found out, if you're limited to your widest boards being 2x12s.
