    I think he was fully aware. Quite funny.

    You might be right.

    Back to the bug at hand;

    So, it is acknowledged as a bug in the program. It was not broken in the prior version, does not present in the newer beta version, but none the less will most likely not be repaired in the current version. Hopefully, it will...but probably not. Guess we'll see.
    Kind Regards,

    The question in my mind is which version is "more" correct.

    In X4 the positions of the soffits, although they both line up, do not seem to be associated to the height of the fascia. So with a very short fascia, say 4-0/0", the soffits float in space.

    In X5 the auto return soffit seems to be positioned in relation to the bottom edge of the fasica, so changing the height of the fascia changes the height of the soffit, which seems to me a good thing.

    Now perhaps there is a setting somewhere that determines the height of the soffit but I have not found it. Is there one?

    Any follow-up on this issue? I'm using X6 and there appear to be multiple auto roof return bugs in X6. I almost always have the problem in X6 where the soffit and frieze for auto roof returns do no match up. Also, there is a related problem. For flared roofs, the program generates the soffit above the fascia instead of the bottom of it. It appears that it generates the soffit straight out at the horizontal cut of the birds mouth in the rather. These roof bugs in X5 and X6 are getting very frustrating!

    I was under the impression that the soffit misalignment problem had been reported multiple times already. Was wondering if there has been a fix. I did however create a ticket already, for that problem as well as the flared eaves issue. There are also a couple other bugs with the shadow boards functionality that I reported.
