Duopitch roof joining

[atisklavins]

Hello all,

I cant join duopitch roof to bigger roof. Cant select edges. 

I tried doing it without any slope, which was successful. But i lost options (red) to modify the roof. 

Could you advise me, what am I doing wrong? 

Thanks in advance!

...why not just use the slope arrow/slope setting tools? (maybe add some images to see what you're trying to do)

[atisklavins]

Ok, yes. I agree that that I have not added enough information. 

I am trying to join these roofs. I know that I can make the from one roof, but I need them to be separated for schedule.  When i click on "Join roof" these edges does not show up when I point at them. 

Instead I tried joining slab roof (i dont know if corrert in english). The edges could be selected. 

When it was succesful, i lost options to modify the roof.

Have you try the roof join tool? Or you trying to do something else? Screenshot below how you can join the roof with another.

If it is a roof element, the Join roof should be able to pick it up...no reason why it shouldn't unless that Pitched Roof looking element is NOT a roof. How did you create them?

An easy way to limit the guessing is to upload that Revit model

...one common practise is to draw the adjoining roof overlapping and use the vertical opening cut tool on both those roofs' intersections.

Thank you all for commenting. By the way, I am new to revit, so this might be silly to you pro's.

To fix this I had to make a roof (by footprint - as I did before), but without a split line. I defined slopes. Now the roof is connected. But with lees options to modify. Agues its because it is different type now.

And, the two roofs (as seen in your screenshot) could be modeled as a
single roof. No joining needed.

[atisklavins]

Yes, I could but I needed them to be different quantities in schedule.

FWIW/FYI if it's a single layer roof type assembly you could also draw it as single roof and use parts on it.
