Yes, indeed....this function does not exist in Revit LT.....

You can try then the method proposed by alex60 in the same dialog....

The method consists in using two Roofs by Footprint and a a conection:

• the first Roof (by Footprint) has a Cutoff at the height where the change of sloped is desired
• the second Roof (also by Footprint),with a different slope as the first one lays on the Cutoff plane of the first Roof
• from Component >Model in Place >Roof add a Sweep around the intersection line of the two first roofs
• Join the three Roofs

The problem with this method, as I have shown , in that previous post, can be with texture maping when rendering...
