Hello,

Did you use "connect > connect element to roof / shell" , "solid element operation" or "connect roof to single pan"
I invite you to use "connect > connect element to roof / shell" :

I have also tried the solid elements operators but without success.

Could you select your roofs, so that we can see the extents of each object?

I would be guessing that the larger roof on the left has the trimming body set to 'Pivot Lines Down', so the smaller roof is trimming up to the pivot line.

Try setting it to 'Contours Down'.

thank you all for your inputs. I have manged to solve the issue: I just moved the black vertex in line with the lower plane of the roof
It looks a bit weird in the 3D (that segmented reddish line in the angle) but it turns out OK in the rendering example
