Roof clean-ups  

With respect to the attached images - is there a good way to adjust the dormer roof so it hits the light-well wall correctly?

 edit:  it seems the issue is created by the shaft that is running down the lightwell.  When the dormer roof intersects with the shaft it hits a flat point on the main roof creating the weird detail.  Now to figure out how to get around that.

Thanks.

Hi, I´m from Costa Rica, so I´m sorry because of y english. May be  what you can do is not use de join roofs, jus draw the domer roof individualy and then use the vertical openning to cut the main roof and the domer roof exactly where you need.

write me. marcov.navarro@gmail.com

I managed to get everything to work out but it involved multiple steps. 

I switched my shaft to a series of vertical openings - I don't know if this is required but it seems to work.  Then I changed my dormer roof footprint and aligned the back edge of it with the light well wall and then joined the roofs.  I don't know why but that seemed to clean it all up correctly, at least visually.
