How to make this particular roof

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to make a roof as in the attached example image ( a pitch roof around a patio). If you look at the plan, the building around the patio has an irregular shape. Now, I think that for a construction point of view there is no problem at all, just having the right pitch for each valley. But in Revit, I got it wrong (as you can see in the attached screenshot. I also don't won't to generate any slope at the eaves. 

 

Many thanks!

You could do it by modifying the sub elements of the roof rather than doing it with roof slope angels. If you don't define a slope on any section of the roof and draw it as a flat roof you can modify the points and just make all the corner heights to your desired ridge height. Hope this helps!
