wall connection

when trimming a wall to a basic composite roof it looks like the trimming surface is to the top of the roof rather than underneath so the structure of the wall is visible. How can i change this to hide the wall?

 

Operating system used: Windows

If your roof is not a composite, set it to use a building material that is stronger than any used in the wall.

If it is a composite, edit the composite so the building materials used are stronger or choose a different composite that already users stronger building materials.

 

Basic principle is stronger material cut weaker ones.

Or make the building materials in the roof stronger than those in the wall.

Thanks, that worked for me

hi Barry how would i achieve that?

Options => Element Attributes => Building Materials => [BM in question] => Intersection Priority
