Roof planes not following wall pitch directive with X11

[AlvarD]

With X11 at the latest version, I have a deck with a hip roof in the front entrance of a house, and with auto-roofs and a pitch set to 7/12 everything is built as I expect. If I then select the three deck railings and change the pitch to say 4/12,  the roof over the deck is built skewed, with the roof plan on the left wall still built at a 7/12 pitch even though the wall directive is calling for a 4/12 pitch.  I inspect each railing and indeed the roof pitch on each railing DBX is indeed at 4/12. In the photo below, on the right is the proper deck roof at 7/12, and on the left is the skewed roof after applying the change in pitch to 4/12 to the railings. Attached are both plans, before and after changing the pitch on the railings. 

 

Thanks for your help!

I just duplicated your plan using my own template...and I got the same result.  Something isn't working.  I'd say you found a bug.

Please report to Chief Tech support...

Your building is out of whack is why the roof is off. 

If you align everything it will build the roof the right way

Eric, thanks for the videos! It's good to see there's a way to get the roof with slight movement of the walls to line them up. The roof group is another interesting solution. I may just report it to tech-support anyways to see what they think.

 

@Greg_NY61 - I don't see what the overall shape of the building should have to do with the roof on the deck. Perhaps when you moved the walls of the bump-out to align the building it aligned the walls of the bump-out to the railing walls and it fixed them the same as just moving the railing walls?

Eric is a guru!  Yes...even on my "test" plan the railing walls were not aligned and so I generated the same error.  Just align the main layers of all walls and all is good. 

 

Thanks Eric!

I don't know, I centered everything and roof was built as it should. I didn't look at anything else.

I think you should as the wall alignment should have nothing to do with the Roof pitch generated

 

* As a side note I switched all 3 walls in the good roof plan to DECK Railings ( interior used ) and set the roof Pitch to 4 and it immediately built correctly too... With some weirdness caused by the misalignment of the walls...
