Problem to model a roof

[Anonymous]

Hello! 

I need to model a roof with several waters in Revit. Using the tool of selection of the edges of the roof, the ridges are not formed as designed (notice that there is the meeting of ridges in a kind of a cross). I tried to do it for parts, but there is a "break" done automatically by the software (indicated in the attached image). Could someone help me in how can I model it?

@Anonymous : If your intent is to use Modify Sub Elements tool to create your the Roof, you are using the wrong approach. Your screenshot clearly shows that you have defined slopes inside sketch mode. You need to make a flat roof (e.g.  a roof without any slopes defined).  Once the flat roof is created, selecting it will activate the Modify Sub Elements contextual tab, which has the tools to define slopes via placing points and split lines.

@barthbradley I added points after selecting the floor with no one slopes. But the lines get connected. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I put the points and then I change de high and that lines appears automatically. But you have told that I can select split lines. Did you use that? I just placed the points.

I don't understand, but in the very bottom screenshot, all you need to do at that point, is add an interior point at both ends of each Ridge and give them all the same elevation (e.g. the Ridge's Height).  The best way to do this, would be to underlay your roof plan in a wireframe view, and place your Modify Sub Element points at the intersections shown on the roof plan.  There is only 5 interior intersection points.   Look at the RVT I posted for you and you'll see what needs to be done.   

...I see you figured it out.  You're good then?  If so, don't forget to mark your Accepted Solutions.
