    Lew,

    I thought your partner did all your roofs because you can't do them.

    I have never had Chief fail to join 2 roofs that COULD be joined.
    If they can't be joined, Chief will tell you.

    No point in telling Chief to "join anyways" if it is physically possible to join the 2 roof because of the geometry.

    Perhaps you could post an example of the problem you describe.
    In fact, I challenge you to post an example.

    Glenn:

    the point is I don't care about the geometry

    I like roof plane A and I want roof plane B to match it

    just like the stairs have the "make reach" feature
    I would like the "join planes" to just make them join

    this is precisely why I avoid doing manual roofs and let my partner do them

    I hate all that tugging and pushing and pulling
    a tweak here and a tweak there

    I just don't have the patience for it

    so yes, I suppose if the stars and the moon are all aligned properly
    then maybe chief can do its thing and join the planes

    I'm sure there are many situations where the join planes tool works just fine
    I just don't have the patience to find them

    I'd rather pay my partner to do them
