Ok, guess I'm not understanding. I see you have a roof trim chosen, and it looks like that particular roof is over a diagonal room? If so, you are using one of the diagonal roof types yes? There isn't really a grid lock on the roof structures, like there is for walls. Get the roof structure to completely line up with your walls on all 4 sides of the room. You can push and pull the 'pointers' every which-a-way after that. Basically, you have pointers to resize the roof in general, and arrows to re-angle (like if you are doing a barn roof?) and the arrows also let you slip just the roof pattern beyond the edge of the roof structure.
But to have it all line up with your walls, you have to stretch the roof structure edge right to the edge of wall, on all 4 sides, not beyond it. It kinda does a snap at that spot, well, it does for me. Then, if you want roof overhang, you pull the arrows (not the pointers) to slip a little of the roof covering past the edge of the wall without actually resizing the roof itself. You may need to remove the trim and work only with the roof structure first. Once that's all lined up with your walls, then start adding, stretching and pulling to do anything else you want. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure I'm really understanding what you're asking. If that's the case, I apologize.
