As far as I can see, what Softplan has drawn is probably correct. The right and left sides of the main roof (with the common ridge) are at different pitches because of the difference in lengths of the roofs, even though the soffits are at the same height.. So the left side is steeper and that actually seems to correspond to what Softplan has drawn. You will have to do some redesign on that roof to get rid of it. You could reduce the soffit height on the right hand side so that the rear gable roof runs over it, and so repositions the valley.

Then you have a problem. If the eaves have to stay the same, then the only option is to change the pitch and add a hip roof in there. You can't make the ridge line constant either. You can't have everything you want here. Where are you prepared to compromise? You can't make matching roofs where your eaves to eaves lengths aren't the same.

Verify that your soffits (it looks like the front based on the patio furniture in the back) are at the correct height. If they are than the main (middle ridge) can not run continuously. Either the ridge needs to be broken up which you can then correct the gable or you need to adjust the soffit heights like stated above.

Stefan, Another option would be to allow the main roof to bear off the same line along the back. This could be accomplished by adding a bearing beam on the right side that would continue the bearing created by the left wall of the bumped out section. After this is done a shallower pitched roof could be added to fill the void created on the right. This would give what is now the 'stinger section' a point on the roof to die against in line with the current bump out gabled ridgeline.

thanks, you are right
i did the same pitch on both sides of the gable (main roof)
and the way to get rid of the sliver is to make different heels heights
or different wall heights
the eave moves down about 2 feet, that looks odd in this case
now ii'll change the wall position to go in line that's an easy way

When I suggested you do that, you said "the fascia should be on the same level around the roof". Is that not the case now?

thanks,
yes the (hidden eaves) fascias should be on the same level around the roof
had minimal different pitches beside the gable, this was automatically done by SP (?), i was not actually aware of this
now i changed the main floor plan so the wall segments beside the front gable are in one line
