Roof Accessories, point origin

Hi. I use Roof Accessories for the roof, but if I have a roof with a different degree of slope, the sheet metal does not connect at one point. Please take a look at the screen.

Please advise how I can adjust it?

Sorry, I could have sworn it used to be the length of the pivot line. 😞

Makes sense it sets out from the edge of the roof, but that makes it hard to adjust other roof planes to match.

Hi @SenecaDesignLLC, I also have never used GDL editing but is it possible to add patch coding to an object to get it to behave correctly ? If so I might be interested in testing it out with my complex profile metal sheet fencing that I placed into a railing as a panel. I want it to trim correctly like the native insert panels do and to follow a slope as well.
