I made a trim to roof and the result is that the roof shows the walls that were trimmed, I am attaching 2 pictures.
In 3D the roof looks fine but in floor plan you can see the wall.
Any sugestion?
Thanks!

Mario,
Wouldn't you want the walls to show on the roof terrace level?
For the Roof Plan, use either the story above so you are looking down on the roof.
Or a new view of that same level with the cut plane for the view adjusted so you look down on the roof.

Thanks Ericka,
On the roof terrace story (the penthouses), yes, I want the walls to show, but not in the roof story (roof plan), what I did was to model the roof in one story above the penthouse story and then roof to trim the walls of this story with the roof (which is in an upper story)
Did I do it wrong?
Thanks again.

Sorry Erika, for miswriting your name

Would setting the walls to display on their home storey only (ie the roof terrace level) work?

If not, you could use the display order system to bring the roofs (with solid backgrounds) in front of the walls, or vice versa?

Thanks Peter,
I set the wall display on home story only and worked perfect!
Thanks you very much,
Thank you Erika too.
