Hidden Roof Line on plan

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello to the GS legends out there! This is junior who has a query on why roofline plotting suddenly looks convoluted. Is there a parameter that is getting in the way that covers the gable line on the big roof? Please see attached screenshot. I have only been using AC since v6.5 so it seems I've missed something vital to my cause?

Does the main roof over the gable have a cover fill with the screen background colour?
Try selecting the roof below the gable and bringing it forward in display order.

There is no cover fills Barry.

It is viewing as normal now anyway.
HOWEVER as a side step, some roof slabs can be selected with the magnet (spacebar+click) and some cannot.

The ones that can be selected with the magnet have a cover fill.
The ones that can't don't.

It can be an empty will with a transparent background, so you can't see it, but you can still select it with the magnet.
