Diamond Roof with Points at Differing Levels

Hi All

 

We are looking to create a Diamond roof whereby two points of the diamond are set at a higher level than two of the other points. We are running into issues whereby we are seemingly not able to spring the roof correctly, as Revit is chamfering off the corners (see attached - the left two images show the current slope setup, though i've also tried other variants to no success, and the current produced roof with the desired roofline in red. The images on the right are what we are hoping to produce in long and short elevation).

I'm sure this is something with a very simple solution that I'm not seeing. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

 

Is this something where I'm just complicating things? or is it something that needs to be done as a mass and then have roof generated from this?

 

Many thanks

Create a flat diamond-shaped roof and use Modify Sub-Elements to add Split Lines and elevated apex Point. Not easy enough?

Many thanks, this worked perfectly - knew I was overcomplicating things!
