The title pretty much sums it up. I have this large portion of roof that was drawn over the back end on a house. I have soffit and fascia selected in the menus but there's a small portion of the roof that doesn't show it. Any Ideas on how I can make this show up? When I try to edit the raked edge of the roof that doesn't show the fascia, I don't see the "edit edge" option. The "edit edge" option is only available when I select the the main portion of the horizontal edge. Hope that makes sense.

The purple wall looks to be at a different height than the rest of the walls. If you match the wall height of the maroon walls will that fix the issue?

Although this doesn't help your current problem.

 

Tip: Under VISIBLE ITEMS in ROOF MODE, turn on ROOF > PLATE HEIGHT

You might be able to get what you want by changing that roof edge to a dutch gable.

I was thinking of a bullnose, not a dutch gable. Sorry.

The purple walls were set to "rake top" that explains the color difference. I changed it match the other walls and then changed the roof to "Gable End Provided By Roof" but still no joy.

The current roof edge is a bullnose roof.

You may need to do two separate roofs. Do the smaller gable as separate roof from the main...

Some things just don't model well. Using some profiles in 3D or drawing some 3D solids may work. Otherwise breaking up the roof more sometimes helps, but makes other parts messy.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to make a copy of the project and play around with it. At this point I'm afraid that I might break something else since this job is close to the due date.

Always good to at least save a working version!
