trying to give my 1st thoughts and the issues

 

1.  right click on the "LEFT" full gables "fascia" or the gable itself

and uncheck 'gable provided by roof'

then right click on the wall below that gable

and click "fit to roof"

(or you might be able to regenerate and have that fix it.  (hit or miss)

(you can usually click the "fit to roof" as noted above

and that's "UNcheck" > "gable provided by roof"

 

2.  on the right odd shaped gable

right click on the gable that's up in the air and UNcheck "regenerate" and than check "regenerate" and see if that fixes it.

 

others will come and give other suggestions.  many ways to fix the same issues.

I did what you said and the result was that the right gable in space shot back into it's correct location and the left gable disappeared.

(you can usually click the "fit to roof" as noted above

and that's "UNcheck" > "gable provided by roof"

 

Worked as Prescribed, all is well and I can't thank you enough!

Didn't get this far thank goodness.

You could have also gone to the COMMON tabs, and clicked PERFORM ITEM CLEANUP. That may have worked OR maybe in the roof plan, regenerated the roofs. Sometimes one thing works and not others.

a note to what keith suggests.:

 

if you have the roof providing the gable you WON'T have a "common" tab to "perform item cleanup"

 

If you EDIT the wall and have the wall "fit to roof"  than  it'll have "common" tab

and you can than "perform an item cleanup"

It would seem to me that to eliminate the potential of something happening like I my issue you would want to always go back and set the wall to fit to roof. Thoughts?

It depends on if your gable finish is the same as the wall or not. Also, gable vents are easier to incorporate in a gable than a wall.

Might represent a bit more work to adjust your section if it cuts thru the gable.
