Trimming walls to the roof- how to get rid of the outlines?

Hi!

I'm modelling a house in ArchiCAD and when I trim the walls I get a weird outcome, the lines of the walls are visible on the other side of the roof.
How can I change it?

Thanks for your help,
M.

You will probably find that the Building Material strength for the roof is weaker than that for the wall.
Make the roof BM stronger and all should be good.

Another option: use Solid Element Operation: Subtraction with upward extrusion rather than Connect: Trim Elements to Roof/Shell if you don't want to change the Building Material Intersection Priority.
