Join the rafters using a 6 1 2 in.

Most cupolas i ve seen have a hip roof.
You can frame the cupola on top of your existing roof but be sure you have solid blocking under the outside walls of the cupola.
These are pretty easy to frame.
This makes the framing a bit more complicated but it accomplishes the owner s goal of an unrestricted view of the cupola from the interior of the building.
