can somebody help me with why I am getting these strange shadows on my roof surface in elevation?  this is looking at the side of a pitched roof.

@Dave Brach Duplicate surfaces? Unlikely but possible.

 Have you possibly got something modelled on a higher / upper storey that isn't visible in the elevation?

100% chances of there being at least 2 elements intersecting, check that. May be more problems, but this one is definitely there.
