Your roof is invisible.  Use this Icon to make it visible.

If not successful with what @Anonymous  suggested, try the following

1. Check Visibility graphics if you have any overrides set for Roofs
2. Alternatively, check other views where it is visible then you might have set some Override by Element... set 2 views side by side on your screen and select the roof on the view where it is visible >> swap to the other view, right click and check the Override Graphics if it is invisible or you if you have made it transparent

Are you referring to the rafters extending beyond the roof?  If so, the same topic was discussed yesterday:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/allignament-between-structural-beams-with-ro...

In your case, it seems that you have arrayed the rafters around.  In the group, create a reference plane for a rafter and cut the rafter with it. Close the group - the rafters should cut.

No it is not the rafters. It was the material 

 I know how to cut a structural beam with a reference plane. I am working on the rafters now but that solutions a little bit tedious. I have circular arrays, first cutting one in the group did not cut all rafters. It just cuts one so I have to place 22 planes per gazebo x12 to cut all. The other thing plane cut it straight not circular so it is also looking funny in the details!

I m still trying to find a better solution. If I dont manage I will come back to the forum to ask 

Thank you for your reply 🙂 I am still wondering why I dont have that show roof tool which you showed me in your first reply

Sorry about that - I was kidding.  Just couldn't see your roof in your first post.
