Hi all,
I have attached an image showing an area within a section I have created. This section view has been set to 'fine' so that i can show the structure of the roof when on section.
You will notice a small gap in the roof on the left.
Why is this gap here?
There are no openings, components or anything else that exists on this roof. Is a simply straight forward roof.
This 'gap' occurs in other sections as well.
How do I fix this?

Strange.
Check your object styles for roofs to make sure the linetype being used is set to solid.
Also check there isn't a filled region in the view...

Hi Mr Spot,
The object style line type is solid. There are no filled regions.
What else can I do?

Does it still appear this way with invert background turned off?

Hi Mr Spot,
Yes it does.
There doesn't seem to be any pattern or consistency to where it occurs either.
I have checked that my roof footprints are correct. I can't see any problems there.
It seems a shame to have a nice section spoiled by these gaps.
What else is there i can do?

Mr Spot,
I found the problem.
It was a minute adjustment in on offset setting I had one of the roof footprints. I'll take a look why I needed to do this given the roof sits on the same wall plate level and as other parts of the building which do not need to be adjusted.
Thanks for the help.

I spoke to soon.
In one area it occurs just either side of the roof ridge. The gap is a dead zone. I cannot select the roof if I try to hightlight the roof by dragging my mouse in the gap area.
If I adjust the offset from the level the roof is based on it disappears.
I know I have not created any void sweeps or the like in the area.
I lost for solutions.

One thing I have noticed.
The gap occurs when I join the tow roof types together. See the before and after images I have attached.
However, this phenomenon does not occur in every other instance.

OK this is the latest.
I have noticed that depending on the order in which I join the two roof parts together determines whether the gap appears or not.
Don't ask me why. It seems to work.
