Commercial Building Roof with Multiple Slopes?

(see attached image for reference)

I am trying to figure out how to create this roof. I have a commericial building roof that has multiple slopes, I am trying to make them slope 1/8"/foot so I tried creating both roof types and floor types using a -1/8" : 12 slope.. I can sort of get the effect by making each individual triangle a roof but I wanted to know if I am doing this correct. I would like to make the roof as a whole instead of individual pieces but Revit keep throwing me errors. How would you create this roof?

Since the slope is so small I would just ignore it and indicate the slope with just lines and control the visibilty so they don't show elsewhere.

Not a bad idea Wotdat, knowing what to build into the model and what to
indicate with linework and callout detailing can save you lots of time. What
I've come to realize is that the Revit model is already head and shoulders
above what ACAD can provide, it's really not required to build the model
100% representational of what will be built.

Actually, several inquiry has been posted similar to this and they all got the same response. It would be beneficial if one would just spend some time Searching before posting, they'll find that most of their questions had already been Discussed and warmingly resolved.

I must plead guilty to that offence myself.

I have no problem with repeating answers. They are hear to get help. Not to
search through miles of post results for "wall join error". We all know how
busy a day can get and posting on this DG for help can really help out while
you work on other items. It can be tough to go searching thru so many post
with so little time. The little time we each get to answer questions is so
valuable to those that hard up against a wall.

The newsgroup is frequented by users who are not very experienced. Newbies
ask questions that are often answered by people with just few months of
experience. These people are enthusiastic and eager to help but often give
poor advice. Most people with several years of Revit experience visit the
group and post here only once in a while. As a result many best and most
useful answers stay undiscovered if not searched for explicitly. When in
need of an answer one would typically do himself a favor by searching for it
rather then asking the question again. Of cause your mileage may vary.
