Hi Peach,
The roof needs to actually overhang the wall it is trimming as it sometimes fails to quite cover the edge, even if you draw it in-line. That is probably the problem you are having.
Don't forget the trim to roof command isn't dynamic. You will need to undo the trim-to-roof command, and then apply it again with the edited roof to see the changes.
You could also use the 'SEO with upwards extrusion' as an alternative to trim-to-roof as this automatically updates the cut if the roof or wall is moved.
Hope this helps!
Pete.

i 'm guessing the strips of wall you have are at places where there are two bits of roof?
if so, the roofs are not joining properly even though you think they are (just one of those archicad quircks)
extend the roofs into/ over one another and try trimming again. then, peel the roofs back to where they ought to be.

Yes, it's a common misconception that using the pet palette to modify roofs will heal them. It's not. The only way to truly heal roofs together is to ctrl/cmd click them.
