trim roof / wall - wall disappears, joins improperly

[Anonymous]

When trimming the wall to the roof, i am experiencing a couple of issues.

one, the wall trims properly at the top, but the corners, where the wall joins other walls, does something weird. it loses a slice out of the corner or something.

also, i tried a roof only 1.5" thick, and trimmed the wall, the wall just disappeared.

any suggestions?

Sounds like you did not have all of the roofs that go over the wall when you trimmed.

hard to say. Do you have a before screenshot?
Did you accidentally trimmed with extrusions downward?

the attached image is before and after.

I drag the wall up, select both wall to be trimmed and the roof. connect > trim elements roof/shell. and the result is on the rt.

Instead use SEO or the crop ctrl/cmd+0 to trim the walls to the roof(s)

You should find your roof is set with the trimming body to the pivot line and your wall is outside the pivot line for the gable end.
Therefore it will all be trimmed away as everything outside the trimming body is cut off when using the connect command.
Either move the pivot line (not important for a gable) or set the trimming body to "contours down".
