The morph is the only way I managed to get a clean model, but there are those lines in the elevations. The only solution I can think of is to place a fill or a white line over those lines. I haven't tried this at the moment.
Perhaps the Morph tool is not the best tool for the job.
I would use a complex beam to create this profile, much more suitable and much easier

I see this as an odd circumstance where a complex beam won't work. I have had another place on this project where the morph tool has been the answer when drawing in the gutter instead of using a complex beam. The problem always came down to how the complex beam joins with another complex beam. So, I use the morph tool and extrude the gutter along a line to get clean joins. In the situation which I have presented here, the Morph tool is leaving extra lines that shouldn't be there.
ArchiCAD is showing you that there is a geometrical problem here. Is faking it with a Morph really the best approach? Will the sheet metal contractor have a saw that can cut Morphs?
