Join two roof with different height

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi everyone!

I need to create a building with only one roof, but the building has a wing with lower walls (because the roof ridge in that wing is fixed at a lower point than the other part of the building). I've tried to create two different roofs and to join them, but it doesn't work. At the same time, the eaves line should be joined too and not on different heights. Is there a way to join the roofs in a way that could make sense?

I've attached the Revit file.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Change the roof pitch or raise the plate.  

 

...something like this?  One roof.

The problem is that I can't change anything, I just need to join the two. It's a weird shape, but the regulations don't allow me to do anything else.

What regulations prevent you from modeling as a single roof as Barth suggested? 

 

The Join Roof tool will not join the 2 roofs you have because the one you are trying to join/extend has a higher pitch. So you have to model it differently

 

See GIF below and revised file for you to check and compare both

I know it's weird, but I can't change the ridge and the eave lines of the two parts, but, at the same time, I need to connect the two roofs, so it becomes one.
