I assume you are using the roof tool with the curved geometry method. This can be a little tricky and the results aren't the best (faceted flat pieces to make the curve). It's not exactly intuitive but the best method is to use a profiled wall.

Before you start, set your magic wand to 18 or 36 segments per arch, and best match.

If you want to use the Custom profile wall as a roof, that will yield a smooth curve, that also trims any walls beneath it. Do a half curve.

You have the hook, the bait, we showed you the river. Now fish
