how to make modular / overall -1 depth cone roof

[20023546]

Hey I'm having trouble making a certain roof which I'll replace with tiling later on, I'm using bevel but never getting the tapered look I'm going for, is there a way I should approach this? Cheers.

 

this is what i usually get when I try to replicate the picture using bevel edge loops.

Hello,

 it looks like your doing everything right you just need to push the settings a little more. If you want the point at the top of the Roof then you'll want to bevel the very top edges of your model to get that shape. You can also just subdivide the shape and manually push those point inwards either with soft selection on or off. I made a quick example of this just using the bevel tool hopefully this helps.
