Really noone is able to help me?

I'm not at my editor so can't test it, but that image looks like the roof section is set to fit a sloping outer roof tile. Might be a waste of time but have you tried highlighting your roof and CTRL+mousewheeling to see if, like upright walls, it cycles through preset types?

Nope. The roof can't even be targeted!

Oh yeah, I guess 'roof' is a sub-section of the wall it serves, huh. It could simply be that the game's available resources don't support flat roofing, and assum all roofs to have the sloping outer rim. The part shown in your image is the inner 'roof tiling', which is just a subsection within even the roof subsection. Can you use the slope roof? The house-building tutorial from Larian goes through that process. If you absolutely need a flat roof, you need to start experimenting I think... I'd try making a second, invisible wall, 2 units bigger on both the X and Y axis, and use the roof tiling for that instead, since it will fit in your visible roof's gap once positioned correctly.

A roof is actually a wall. Select the wall button, you should then be able to select your roof section.

Then, the flat part is the roof tiling, that can be scaled, if I recon well.

edit NVM, I tried, can't seem to do nothing. Sorry :-(

What are you trying to achieve ? A flat roof ?

You're trying to make a roof as part of the wall, when in fact it is it's own wall section that just happens to sit above a wall. What you've discovered is the part that fills in the middle of the roof, but you haven't actually made a roof.

To make a roof:

1) make your wall
2) copy your wall and move your new wall/roof over your old wall and then up a little
3) change the root template to something with roof in the title
4) flip/switch your new haphazard mess of roof tiles until it doesn't look like shit
5) If your roof is large enough, there will now be an empty portion in the middle. This is the part that you've discovered and it's where you need to use the roof options of the sidebar to determine what material fills that in. Small roofs won't even need to ever check 'roof enabled' since they won't have an empty space.

Indeed, flat roof that covers all the in-wall aera. But it seems to be impossible :|

EDIT: I'll try ^tip now

Ye, I saw this video, but there is no tip how to make roof bigger. Move it up and down and so on, but not bigger one!, dsvw56!
