Part of the problem came when creating an arch on one of the roof edges.
Creating an Arc Radius on part of the roof created a whole bunch of little tiny invisible roofs when the Arc Radius was stretched to a certain radius where the tip of the Arc must have been very near to the same as lower edge of the roof. It is hard to describe but the motions look like this.

It is in stretching the arc a tiny fraction too far that it creates many little roofs at the tip of the arc. In this case, if the arc is stretched to 8'-0 1/32" or some tiny bit more, or perhaps less, it creates many tiny little roofs that are too straight to be part of the arc - I think. In any case, these tiny little roofs were found in my schedule with 0 surface area and 0 volume, and you can't see them unless they are selected, and even then they are so small that the dot for their nodes is hidden by the node point of the main roof. Very tiny, but can cause problems.
Why the roof split was creating the split part of the roof but keeping the original roof whole I don't know.

Still looking?
