Think of it as a simple radius...use a diameter of 80'...

some information about curved roofs. Doesn't include specific technical data or measurements, but it might help anyway

That might help. I know how to measure a basic roof pitch and maybe if I look at roofs in this style enough I can figure out the math on my own.

I read "The genius of Japanese carpentry" some time ago.
They go into some technicalities of old school temples and buildings.
I don't remember much about roofs but it may be worth looking into it anyway if you're interested in that kind of architecture.

OP, unfortunately if you can't read moon, hell, pajeet or starcraft you're pretty fucked. Most of the info is not in english and what is has major errors so you're not going to get super authentic, if that is your goal.

Here's a long discussion on some other forum, some books are mentioned and other advice offered: http://forums.jlconline.com/forums/forum/jlc-online-expert-forums/rough-framing/19887-curved-hips-and-flared-eaves/

Maybe it will be enough for you. When in doubt, DIY and make it work in your own methods.
