I am not sure what you are describing but if you have a roof that is Dutch on one side and gable on the other, you don't need to combine roofs. Just change one side to gable in the properties by telling it which side you want the Dutch on (where it defaults to both ends under the roof type after you change it to Dutch Hip).
I assume you mean the line where the 2 roofs join. That is the back side of the 2 individual roofs and it always shows. The reason you are probably not used to seeing it is because the back of any overbuild is usually in the same location as the ridge of the original roof so it is hidden. I don't know if you have noticed, but when you add an overbuild, it starts at the ridge of the roof you are creating it from. I added to the end of the video explaining it visually because it is a very good question and also in case this explanation was not clear. Just start watching from where you left off and hopefully that answers your question. Since you cannot replace a video on you tube, I added the new extended video as a new video. I will delete this original video in a week or so when you get a chance to watch the new extended one. I also show you another way to draw it but the report will always be the same.
@@xactimatetrainingbycrestll5943 hey thanks very much. I didn't really expect a reply so fast. I just made sure that my areas and variables are all correct and submitted the report with the funny lines showing on the sketch. I'm a roofing contractor, and while I want to come across professional, I guess I'm not looking for a Nobel prize for perfect xactimate work. What I have is a Dutch hip roof (with rake overhang) on one end, and a gable on the other. I couldn't get the Dutch hip to have a rake overhang. (I guess single roofs can't have an overbuild). So I created a hip roof on one end, and put a gable over top to create a dutch hip. (I've always called it a dutch gable)
I have a gable and Dutch roof that I follow your video. I can’t connect the two over together. The Dutch roof is coming to form a L shap roof

I've done this, but when I print it, it shows the edges of the two roofs in the sketch report, (where it does not show in the sketch, or 3d view.)
