Any advice on this would be appreciated as I'm a relative newbie. I'm currently drawing a roof to a domestic house that has multiple wall plate levels. I created the roof using roof footprint and adjusted for the wall plate levels by going into edit footprint of the roof and then clicking on the individual sketch line and inputting the desired dimension into "plate offset from base". This took some playing around with for everything to line up but eventually through sections and section boxes and I got the roof shape I wanted. The only problem I have now is that revit has broken the roof into divisions and I now have messy lines showing where I want a clean surface. Please see attached sketch. Is there anyway to solve this? I have double and treble checked that everything lines up.Can I make the surface smooth? Or perhaps from source there is a better way to construct a roof with multiple wall plate levels than the way I have done? Thanks

click on roof then use join geometry. if the roof planes accurately align they will join seamlessly.

if that doesnt work, maybe remake roof using by footprint but on the south side say only give one "fascia" section  the slope, then the other 2 will effectively be dragdowns on same plane as the slope section.

hope that makes sense.

cheers
