    The roofs above were created with automatic roofs. The triangles jutting out from the eaves are visible in all 3D views (not visible in plan view) but they are not selectable. They are level and at eave height, visible from the interior and exterior. The material is that of the Eaves/Soffit on both top and bottom. Changing the Eaves/Soffit color changes the triangles. I hid all layers to determine the origin, the triangles are part of the Roof Planes layer. I have tried deleting virtually everything on the plan except for the first floor walls, but when I rebuild the roofs the triangles reappear. They also appear on all new simple buildings added to the plan as well, even simple ones, so I feel like it must be something I changed in my defaults for the plan.

    I would like to fix it and learn what caused it so I don't make the mistake again. Thanks

    You need to go to the Chief HD Forum. I don't think anyone here can answer your question since we are all using Chief Architect, not Chief HD.
