Is there a good way to do hip/valley boards?

not quite sure what you are asking... are you talking roofs? use the roof tool and the define slop.
using the roof tool does not mean it has to be a roof... with different materials you can create what ever you want

Two methods:
using hosted sweep fascia profiles and applying the valley/hip profile the appropriate edge of the roof, (you'll have issues where they are three merging into each other and getting them to clean up properly.)
The method i typically use is to copy the roof up in elevation to sit on top of your current roof. Change it to a type that has a small thickness to represent the capping, then use the opening tool to cut our the unwanted sections of the roof.
HTH.

Sorry for bad Symantec�s. Meant rafter, not board.
Mr. Spot,
Thanks for the reply. Fascia Profile does work for quick and dirty as you mentioned. You completely lost me on the second one.
I think I�ve concluded that roof framing members are quicker in 2D. At least one user agrees with me over at the AutoDesk Group. I prefer to model residential floor structure members however.

was interested in the hip and ridge flashing discussion - we use the hosted sweep option all over rooves, and attempt junction clean ups if it looks a bit odd. love the ability to change mitreing options at sweep ends. clever idea of mr spot's to add a roof slightly above though - might try that!
but how do you create a real looking valley? ideally a void sweep would do it, but no such thing i think. i guess i will have to use mr spot's idea in combination with 3 roof pieces! or maybe do not worry about it and got on with the job.

Another option would be to change the roof to sloped glazing then apply a specially created corner mullion for the ridges/valleys. Then its just a simple matter of create a new panel with the appropriate roof material.
Of course there is such thing as a void sweep... If its absolutely vital to clean up the host sweeps you can do so manually using an in-place family and cutting the host sweeps in the appropriate locations to have them mitre neatly...
