Hi Ryan,
I appreciate your response, but all of your suggestions are not the case in this specific issue.
if I shift the left plane a fraction manually, the eave reappears, with evidence of the slight offset of course.
The automatic roof plane tool also wouldn't pickup this porch area unfortunately.
I can manage to keep the boxed eave if I make a slight space between the brick wall and the roof for the sake of creating a 2d elevation, but not optimal to keep practicing that way.
