Problem with Rafter Framing?

I am going through the tutorials very carefully so as to understand the Suites better.

I have come across an anomaly on rafter framing. Maybe someone  can explain.

I created a basic rectangular one-story house with a gable roof.

When I view the framing of the roof rafters, it appears that the bird's mouths are not sitting on the

top plates.

Is this an error ?

Thanks.

The bird's mouth for that rafter is supposed to "hug" the top plate, is it not?

The "notch" or "bird's mouth" is supposed to have a cutout parallel with the top plate and a vertical cut perpendicular to it on the inside of the top plate, not the outside of it.

Just a minor point but I noticed it right away.

I don't usually zoom in to the framing that much but I just happened to and something struck me as not right.

Cheers.
