@MiniCoops1990 Can you please post a screenshot(s) that would clarify the situation so that I can reproduce it in my game and advise? Or you could upload the build to the gallery with a name like 'roof test' and let me know if your gallery name is different here so I can find it ant test it in my game. Or better yet you could just add the link to it in the gallery here in a post.

In here mean time there are a couple of helpful posts on roofing:

Roofing (article): https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/building/roofs.php
Roofing (video demo - includes some tips for some tricky challenges): https://youtu.be/d3aNEDX5tTs

I look forward to your response and getting this additional information/screenshots, or the gallery link to investigate specifics on this. Thanks!

Thank you for your quick response. I have uploaded it to the gallery under the name ROOF TEST - NOT WORKING. Hashtag #minicoops1990
The room at the top of the stairs I'm trying to delete floor tiles and make it look like the room outside, but when I do the roof comes in.
Thank you

  @MiniCoops1990 Unfortunately when I search "ROOF TEST - NOT WORKING" I don't get anything. For the hashtag #minicoops1990 I get other items of yours, but not this one.

  @MiniCoops1990 I have made you a video, as I found what you did... while trying to make an opening around the stairway by my normal techniques I was also having a point where the roofing on all sides would stop clipping and would come into the stairwell room - either the eaves or on two sides part of the roof and it's wall also.
  
  So... I in my video you will see the way that I made the roofing more custom-formatted to the areas it was covering (around the stairwell room). I then went through the method that I use to create an open stairwell.

  Please let us know how it goes, and if this is what you were looking to do. If I misunderstood your issue, please let me know that also. Thank you!
