Hello all,

I've been working on a residence project for a while (and so far, this board has been invaluable in helping me solve problems). Right now, I'm trying to make some alterations to the roof system- namely, changing the cut from single-plumb to double-plumb and adding an 11 1/4" fascia board. I keep getting errors on one part of the roof though, and no matter what I do, I just can't seem to make it work out. My question is this: When you get a message like "cannot make roof footprint", is there a way to ask the program "why?". I'd like to know what I have to alter to be able to make the roof footprint work. Any suggestions would be appriciated. Thanks!

P.S: I'm using Revit 2008
