3D ROOFS

I'm having difficulty tucking in a 3D roof when the roof above (sloping in the same direction) blocks out the roof below. Is there a workaround for this?

If you are working in 3D then select all (CTRL+A) and then un-select the roof you want to hide.
Or just select those elements you want to work with.
Then right mouse click and 'Show selection in 3D'.
This will effectively hide what is not selected.

Or in 2D select just the elements you want to work with and then view in 3D.

Thanks Barry, If I eliminate roof above the roof below configures correctly. But when I render I need both roofs to be shown without a gap. What do I do.
Thanks

Bob:

From your description, it sounds like the upper roof is trimming the lower one. If that is the case a small Connections icon (4 squares inside a larger square) appears when the roof is selected. Clicking on this icon will show the elements of the operation, and allow you to cancel the operation. It might also help to turn on Trimming Bodies in the On-Screen display Options.
