Help with modeling a different type of roof

[James_lB2]

Hi all, I was hoping someone could give me a hand on how to model a roof like below (brown) I did try modeling three separate roofs and trying to join them but that didnt work. 

Thanks

2 Roofs should be all you need.

Post the file.

You can create three roofs and then do join geometry

or are you talking about the umbrellas?  

😉

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up with three roofs and then it was just a matter of using the join geometry tool in the correct order

Join Geometry Tool? 

or do you mean Join/Unjoin Roof Tool?

But there's no Join Order for that.

You got me scratching my head.

Any chance you can make a video of yourself creating the whole roof?

The last 2 screenshots I posted above show the roof sketch magenta linework.   As for how to do the eyebrows with slope arrows, it's explained with pictures in that link I provided. Scroll down to the bottom.

Thanks for all your help. The method you have above works, but the issue I have with my roof is that the bit that sticks out the front is of smaller width.

So I am trying to get this to work (pic below) and then just add the front to that.

However Revit is not liking how I have done the roof there, can you see an issue with it?

Ive tried that bottom line with the slope arrows as one line and then two separate lines to represent each gable

Post your RVT.

BTW: is that screenshot supposed to be your attempt to replicate the roof I showed you?  FWIW, mine is 2 Roofs - with each one having an ONE eyebrow. 

Hope this info helps you. 

...is this what you are trying to achieve with that sketch boundary?
