what are all of these snap points on a roof plane

There looks to be 4 different "object" "endpoint" snap points withing a 18" roof eave.

 

Any idea what they are? Is it snapping to things that are not actually showing like the fascia board. For testing, "enpoints" is the only object snap I enabled. Its a lot worse if I turn them all on (although it is the same 4 points)

Thanks

interesting, the definition is:

  • When Use Special Snapping is checked, the selected roof plane's edges will automatically snap to the outside surface of walls that it may butt against. Uncheck this to prevent the roof plane from snapping to any nearby walls.

 

There are no "Walls" in the 4 snap points I show in the video.

 

I just tried it, I still get the same 4 snapping points even if it is unchecked.

 

interestingly the first snap away from the designated eave length is 1-3/16"

there is nothing in the roof for that

my guess is it is the funky way CA decided to frame the lookout where it looks to be 3 different pieces. anyone seen that? :

well, figured it out. The two roof planes were initially auto generate, however I was modifying the one on the right for this purpose:

 

Anyway when comparing the two roof planes, the modified one had a different fascia top height. Different by a few 16ths, but when I changed it to match the unaltered one, the ridge did not match, I then examined the roof baseline of the altered one, and it was not at the end of the top plate. I must have accidentally moved it, maybe by grabbing it instead of the roof plane. Bit that layer is not usually on, so who knows.

 

Anyway it is fixed now by moving the baseline. It certainly was an interesting side effect, the odd framing shown above
