you want to zoom out a bit? I can't tell what we're looking at.

Is that a better view?[cid:image001.png@01D4185C.49C2FB80]

Nope. Nothing got posted.

Did this one come through?

So, you want the blue highlighted roof to join with the orangy roof; right. Doesn't look like it works without adjusting the pitch on one of the roofs.  You can post RVTs here too.  I'll take a  look at it if you want to post it.

here is the revit file. my boss wants a rendering of his home to go along with a permitting package of an addition. we have done all the work in autocad 2d and i am just creating a shell of the outside of his home for rendering purposes. the roof is a real monster and it seems to get pretty tricky to put it together in revit. anyway any help you could provide would be appericated.

I think the idea here is to have the "orangey" roof extend up past the ridge line to form a "hip" with the blue roof. Not sure the roof tool in Revit is going to do this. It might require some manual intervention to get that to work.

Just as I said: adjust the pitch of the "blue" roof from 12:12 to 9:12. Works a like charm --  except for drainage.
