@SproutLee I was not able to reproduce those lines in my game, but I suspect it may have to do with the fencing below the roof possibly casting a shadow up onto it.  Do you have your build available on the Gallery by any chance so that I could download and take a look at it?  If not, would you consider uploading it (just call it "Test Weird Roof Shadow" or the like and tag me to let me know it's available)?

Thanks @SproutLee.  I was able to see the issue in my game.  The lines are being caused by the intersecting roof.  In my testing, I have found that if any of the rounded roof styles have their eaves extended and another roof is placed touching/intersecting them, the lines/shadows appear.  Will add to our list.
