Roof Edge Problems

I'm having a problem with my roof edges on a couple roofs. Most of the roofs I have are fine, Edge Angle: Vertical and Trimming Body: Pivot Lines Down.
However, there are a couple of roof places that have their edges at an angle, and I can't seem to get them to go straight. I've tried injecting properties from a correct roof and it doesn't work. All roofs have the same parameters that I can see, it's just these couple roof plans refuse to cooperate.

When something like that goes bad it is usually expeditious to re-draw the problem elements rather than mess around with corrective measures.

mukster:

Have you tried selecting one of the problem roofs, clicking one of the problem edges, then selecting the upper right option in the Pet Palette (Custom Edge Settings), then selecting Edge Angle: Vertical?

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
