wall connection

when trimming a wall to a basic composite roof it looks like the trimming surface is to the top of the roof rather than underneath so the structure of the wall is visible. How can i change this to hide the wall?

Hi @EGM66,

It’s a material priority issue so try to use SEO it will work for you.

Or make the building materials in the roof stronger than those in the wall.

Options => Element Attributes => Building Materials => [BM in question] => Intersection Priority

If your roof is not a composite, set it to use a building material that is stronger than any used in the wall.

If it is a composite, edit the composite so the building materials used are stronger or choose a different composite that already users stronger building materials.

Basic principle is stronger material cut weaker ones.
