Hello Mentors and Colleagues,
I like using Revit LT. It gets the job done for about 99.999999999999^99% of the things I want to do.
After about probably 5 years with it, I'm hitting a snag with an idea that I have for a custom roof, and I am wondering if you have any ideas better than the cumbersome fiddle-faddle of linking a v8 skp and going back and forth whenever some adjustment is necessary. (in the long run might be worth it, but for now...)

*forum won't let me attach* Roof Experiment.skp = just the roof its self
*forum won't let me attach* Roof Experiment 1.skp = exploded massing model
Roof Experiment.rvt = 2019 rvt with revit walls and linked skp for the roof. Walls are customized for alignment with the skp roof.
Right now, it looks like the thing to do is link the skp "roof experiment" and manually align things. The trouble I see is that it isn't a roof entity/category/whatever in the Revit model. I'm not sure why that might be an issue, maybe something like trying to add an elevator headhouse or plumbing vents or skylights (probably the big one, skylights)
So, it would be great to hear ideas from all of you. I'm sure there's some kind of slap-the-forehead thing that I'm missing, but that's a fun thing about discussion forums, right?
Thanks!
