I have a hip roof and I want to remove my ceiling joist in one room. Do I have to put ties back or can I leave it open?

Impossible to say without some more info. With pictures I could maybe venture a guess - but that's all it would be is a guess. Contact a local engineer and have them look at it - it's honestly about the only way that you'll get a real answer.

You need a crystal ball for that one, as Rich has said best to contact a local engineer to advise if you are unsure.
