I have a gable roof that has three dormers on it (two dormers on front side and one on rear side). I have created these dormers using the slope arrow tool. I am noticing that when the single dormer goes beyond a certain width, it causes the ridge line to be off-centered by a small amount. Please see the attached photos. The magenta line is the geometric centerline of the roof, this is where the ridge should be. Why would any of the dormer geometry be affecting the ridge line? All overhangs are exactly the same and the dormer height offsets at head are the same.
Photo 1: Plan view setup of wider dormer creation.
Photo 2: Off-centered ridge line. (magenta is correct centerline, green is actual)
Photo 3: Plan view setup of more narrow former creation. (this setup creates a centered ridge)
