Building issue-mixed roof types lead to a hole in the roof

[saraswati]

I've been searching for a good few days now to see if there's a fix for this issue, with no success. The problem is slightly driving me up the wall so I thought I'd ask here, as you seem to have more expertise in building for TS3 than the rest of the Sims Community at the moment.

I'm building a small Arts and Crafts type home and they often have mixed roof types, but every time I attempt to use a combination of the Gable and Octagonal roof, the game generates holes in the roof. Here's a picture that demonstrates the issue.



I can use the a crappy hipped roof and I likely won't get the holes, but then the shape just won't be right for the period.

Has anyone here found a fix for this issue or is it just EAxian bad coding I'm going to have to put up with?

I've had this happen, and found one of two things seem to work:

1)  Delete the taller roof and then click undo, or

2)  Delete the taller roof, then raise or lower the the level of the conical roof slightly, and then click undo to bring the taller roof back.

  Thank you for those suggestions. Changing the roof height fixed the problem.
