Open the roof plane, check the size of your shadow board, in the pic I deleted the shadow board.... if you want a shadow board, make it smaller than what you specify and it should look better. 2 pics, one with no shadow board, one pic with smaller shadow board.

Such an easy fix. Thanks!! Any way to have the freize removed from the brick gable but keep in on the siding gable that abuts it? In other words, the left roof plane would have part with and part without the frieze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In X5, you will have to do it manually I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you need two roof planes, one roof plane over front gable with no frieze, the second roof plane, the big one, with a frieze..... two roof planes is the answer. Note the orange roof over front roof with no frieze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the correct answer because Joey is talking eaves and gable ends, the OP is talking about the two gable ends, she is not referring to any eave conditions.
