I need help with this part of the building. I can’t make a surface in it, and I don’t know how to fix it. I recently started using the program and I can’t tell if it’s because it’s out of shape, or what do I have to fix. I will share with you two screenshots, one with the area and one with the alternative I’ve found, wich isn’t the best solution. Please help.
It seems the quads you’re trying to fill are not coplanar, so your only option is to use triangles as in your second screenshot..
Sharing your file is often better to get good answers.
thank you for your answer. I’ll upload my file.

You only have to orbit around a little to be able to see that the rafters aren’t in the same plane. Go back and review your basic geometry.
That will be some fun and wild roof geometry…
What is your goal? Do you have a reference photo?
You should work on the basics, and you need to learn about groups and components:

This is a model that will be very very difficult to work with the further along you go. Each of those primary stuctural components should be a component or collection of components:
The plate is not level
The pitches are different on every bent:
The rafters need to be treated as unique hips, and the roof will have to be faceted / curved:
But it is a mess, really. What are you starting with?
Do you understand compound roof framing, or even basic roof framing?
