i have a pitch rroof with the ridge not equidistant from the eaves and the building footprint is kind of t-shaped with eaves at different heights.the froof slope is the same throughout 6/12. what is the best way to model a roof like that all attempts so far have been unsuccessful . a link to a video that tackles something similar will be helpful too. thanks

You can change an eave height by edit the roof sketch, select a sketch line and change from properties.

Sounds like you are describing this:

thanks for responses. could one change the ridge location of a roof after placement of roof. .in a case where he slopes of both pitches are the same but one eave is lower than the other , how does one place the ridge exactly where you want it , if revit by default places the ridge equidistant from both eaves.?

If you draw the roof footprint by picking lines, edit the roof sketch, select an edge and change Offset from base value to change the eave elevation.  

 

If you draw the roof footprint by picking walls, then select an edge and change overhang value. The longer the overhang, the lower the eave.
