Roof Fascia Modeling

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.
