So, Graphisoft still haven't made a move on this. How very disappointing.
Its been a year since the last post on this, just letting Graphisoft know we're still here and we're still screaming for a fix. And your woeful excuse for a way around

is not a fix, especially if your using more than 2 roofs elements.
The whole point of Archicad is to avoid doing 2D as much as possible.
Get off your behinds and fix this

I believe this is not a roof problem, but just another case of the even longer wished-for issue of ArchiCAD not displaying dashed (or any non-solid linetype) in a sensible way - so that two dashed lines on top of each other can result in a solid line.
Trying to reproduce this just now, I only had one valley that showed as solid. I dragged all of the roof planes away from one another, and all displayed properly as dashed.
My roof settings were for:
Show on Stories: all relevant stories
Floor Plan Display: Projected with Overhead
Show Projection: Entire Element
Uncut Lines: Solid Line
Overhead Lines: Dashed
and my Floor Plan Cut Plane was adjusted to include the entire roof.
Maybe I'm missing the problem though?
Thanks,
Karl

Sorry John I do not have a copy of this article.
It was a while ago, I believe it was a Graphisoft demonstration from their support archives. It showed that in order to get your dashed roof lines you needed to add extra nodes to the edges of your roof. Each roof plane (prior to Archicad 15's complex roofs), the outlines of that roof plane would be a "polyline" in plan starting at a node on the roof, by adding extra nodes you would manually change that start/end location until it align with the adjacent roof plane.
The issue with this is it only worked when you had 2 roof planes adjacent to each other, add a third or fourth, etc. and you had a major head ache.
Now of course, this has been resolved (kind of) by the "complex roof" option within archicad 15. The outlines of the roof element are still acting as a polyline and don't always join at the corners, but at least where different planes of roof meet they show correctly.
