Boxed Eave Question - 2 Boxed Eaves at Outside Corner

I have boxed eaves turned on and 2 gable roofs meeting at an outside corner.

 

Any tips / techniques to get both boxed eaves to build at this outside corner?  I understand boxed eaves can be fussy, but hoping there is a workaround.

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

You can cheat the valley lines to create a level eave at least 1" long for 1 plane and at least 1.5" for the other or model them manually with solids.

Another option, create additional roof planes, just for the boxed eaves.

@JKEdmo Jim - you could also design that overhang as I've shown in the attached screen clip.

Also...open defaults and make a change to the "3D View Defaults". Have the "sun follows camera" box checked. This will make it so you always have sun on the face of the building you are looking at. Makes life with Chief much better...:)
