Roof edges/wall

Hello, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the roof edge (left). I want a continues brickwork (like the right side, just forgot how I did it.)

(reference)Lines are properly connected.

watsermetjou:

1. Select the Wall
2. Right-click and select "Connect > Trim Elements to Roof Shell"
3. Click on the Roof
4. Select the lower part of the Wall
But then I get the Wall Edge Material on the upper surface of the roof (area not shown in your screen shot), so maybe it is easier to use another roof above the model roof to do the SEO, then put that upper roof on a hidden layer.

As a cheat you could put a slope on the roof edge which will under cut it, then the outer edge will trim the wall at the top of the roof element. It might have implications lower down that make this tricky, though.

Another thing to look at: select the Wall, or the Roof, and click on the Connect icon (4 squares in a square) to see which other elements are part of the Connection.
