Roof-issues?

Kamelite

Hi. I seem to have some trouble With roofs. I have created a complex roof, as seen in right part of the picture. However, I want gavels, not pitched. And it works fine to convert them, all the way to the right side of the main roof. At that point, half of my roof disappears. Regardless of when its done, first or last doesn't matter. What has happened?

I also tried to create the roof the hard way, creating three separate roofs, doing some boolean magic and make them look like I wanted. But when I Applied the Roof-maker-wizard, the result is as if I didn't boolean them, but rather as they are just Three separate roofs put together? What did I do wrong ( I can post a picture if needed). And the weird thing is, that if I rendered each of the Three roofs separatly, everything looked as it should...

?? Appreciate all help!

It is not hard. Draw multi-plane roof as shown, with short segment between main and secondary roof.

Got it, thanks for both of you. I am forwarding this over to our engineering team for in-depth investigation.
