OK, I need some help here. I have added images to help illustrate my issue, and maybe I am looking at it wrong. 

Here goes. I have a roof that has a constant ridge height alround, but varying pitches. I did this my removing all angles from outline and modifying as per a floor to get my ridge heights. I then did a roof cut to get required shape. However there is one corner, the one circled, that doesnt seem to work. It dips into the box gutter, outlined in the 3D image. If I make my roof outline have a 45 on that corner, then one of the ridges is in the wrong spot, or the length of the roof changes. I tried using a mass, but still couldn't get it to work.

I need to keep the roof shape as is, except for that section. I cant have any gables or double slopes on the adjacent roofs.

I have been loking at this for two days, and I cant quite get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

it looks like box gutter isnt parallel to roof ,(slightly off.)

maybe that 10.4 deg on the turn might need to alter also.

 

there looks like a stry hip line occuring in grids 2,3 and e,f . is that influencing things as well?

Gutter is parallel, I have checked and made sure a number of times. The thickening of the line you see is the box gutter coming through the roof. It is not a hip line that is askew, it is a line from the edge of the roof to the hip, as that point does not quite line up with that ridge point.

Any suggestions on alterations?

Is the hip on both roofs in the same place? I think the outline of either roof could be changed just a little bit and it would be fine.
