Anyone know of an easy way to create a 'vide' without fencing? My way is very elaborate.... I did find out a bit of a workaround for the clipping roofs this way though, does NOT work on eaves sadly, just normal roofs:
Also, I am not sure how this workaround survives gallery uploads and downloads, since you basically create 1 room both with and without floor. It tends to bug a bit with the gallery.
First, draw a room over the (ground floor) area where (on the first floor) the stairs will NOT remove the ceiling, remove the ceiling and the drawn walls of the room, but the room has to remain separate (if you click it, it is a different entity from the complete area) Stairs can not be placed for this part, since the area runs partly under the stairs

Then, place the staircase and go upstairs, draw a wall where the floor appeared

Remove the floor of the newly drawn room and (important!!) use the room draw tool to 'recreate' the room, see the red dots. This will make the entire area a room, but will NOT replace the bit of floor you just removed.

final result with roof pulled into the building, not cutting into the vide

Does NOT work with extended eaves! (Sadly)

You can solve that issue in the last pic by clicking on the roof, grab the little triangles at the corner of the portion that’s inside and before you do anything else press the shift key. With the shift key engaged push the eaves of the roof in towards the roof. This a will retract the eaves on just that one side of the roof. They should no longer clip into your room, but still be extended on the other 3 sides.
