Yes that vertical option is buggy. I noticed that it only makes vertical the last roof selected. I wish I could say that's why I always used miter, but I'd be lying. I used miter all these years because it always gave me the correct join without having to think about the angle.

I used it when I had two roofs of unequal pitch and unequal thickness.
It used to work but now in AC 10 and in AC 12 it does not work.
Laszlo might see if he can get this method to work on
roofs of unequal thickness.
Thanks,

But as I see Karl's Roofs are of equal thicknesses.
Mysterious.
Edit:
What I meant by unequal not working is shown on the attached image.
It should do it like the red lines show it, in my opinion.

Did 'miter' work in earlier versions of AC with dissimilar sloped roofs? Wonder if this is a bug or user error on my part.
It worked in AC10 with unequal thickness's too.

It happens both in the case of valleys and Roof top edges:
You select the two Roof element (their adjacent edges overlap, that's needed) and click the "Set Roof edge angle" button in the Pet Palette.
The little Dialog comes up and here is the trick: It always defaults to "Vertical".
Now, if you choose the "Mitred Joint" radio button, then it will perform the mitred operation on both selected Roof elements.
However, if you do not change the default selection (meaning, you leave it on the "Vertical" radio button) then only the latter selected of the two Roof elements will have its edge set to vertical, the other one stays as it was.
Try it by first selecting the left and then the right and using the Vertical mitre.
Then undo it and first select the right and then the left and use the Vertical mitre.
In both cases the Roof element selected last will only be modified.
This is definitely a bug.
Of course there is a workaround because you can select each Roof and set its edge to vertical.
Edit: rereading the whole thread I notice Erika already pointed out the exact nature of the bug.
Could have saved myself a lot of typing.

But, I never knew you could select two roofs and mercedes-down on their 'joint' to get this joint customization dialog. I just searched, and cannot find this dialog in the online help or the PDF Reference Guide.
You can find some info at the bottom of this page in the html Help file:
Virtual Building : Construction Elements : Roofs : Set Custom Roof Edge Angle
But it is true that it is hard to find and there is not even a n illustration of that little Dialog.

I've filed a bug report...
