Make a safe comparison copy
Save a version before adjusting any roof geometry. Use the copy to isolate the problem without changing a working drawing set.
Start from supporting geometry
Review wall alignment, floor levels, ceiling conditions, and any unusual room or bearing configuration. An apparent roof defect may originate below the roof.
Inspect a single junction
Pick one valley, hip, ridge, or overhang that is visibly incorrect. Compare the adjoining planes and note which settings or geometry are inconsistent.
Change only one variable at a time
Adjust a single plane or condition, regenerate the relevant view if needed, and compare with the saved version. Avoid making many changes and then guessing which one fixed the intersection.
Validate in more than one view
Review plan, elevation, and 3D output as well as any required framing or detail drawings. A visually smooth 3D roof is not a substitute for structural review.
Practical final checklist
- Save a dated backup or review copy before changing an active project.
- Check information against the relevant current software documentation and local project requirements.
- Test changes on a representative file, then inspect the resulting drawings and exports.
- Record unresolved questions and obtain qualified professional review when the deliverable requires it.
