Roof Fascia Modeling: Is there a way to square off the bottoms of fascias in Archicad?

Is there a straightforward way to square off the bottoms of fascias in Archicad?

I've searched for a solution but haven't found a clear answer. As shown in my screenshot, I need the fascia bottoms to be squared off. It seems like this could be a simple feature within the custom edge settings but unfortunately there isn't an option. Currently, I’m using slabs on a hidden layer with solid element operations as a workaround, but this method can become quite messy. Since majority of my projects require this look, finding a more efficient solution would be incredibly helpful. If anyone has suggestions or best practices for achieving this more easily, I’d really appreciate the help.

I have to fix a couple of smaller bugs but once I do I'll post it for everyone.

I'm going to give it for free with minor limitations and locked code, but anyone willing to provide feedback and or donate to my gdl work will get code access and the ability to request features.

As with everything in ArchiCAD, how you model it depends on what you need to do with it.  Just convert the gable fascia to a morph and split off the part you don't want.
