Various with the eave depth; but it is basically were an exterior wall meets the rafters.

I have very deep eaves, so my transition point is about three feet up the roof... but over my three season porch, the transition point is actually at a parallel to that roof and sometime would cause problems in the valleys.

The metal roof gets rid of much of that for me, but the valleys always seem to form ice regardless due to that transition point.
