Revit Sloping a Gable Roof

[brianwclayton1969]

Good afternoon,

I'm in need of assistance, I'm trying to slope a Gable roof design and help would be appreciated.  I know how to slope a flat roof with the slope arrow of defined slopes, but when I want to add defined slopes to the sides for a Gable roof footprints  get a "warning: can't create footprint".

Please see images attached of what I have began with.

Thanks

For a simple gable, don't use slope arrow.

Instead, use "defines slope" and specify the pitch of the sketch lines on the two sides of the roof .

ot sure what you're trying to do. Your picture shows a shed roof. You want to make it a gable using a Slope Arrow in combination with Define Slope?  Can you show a picture of what you are trying to acheive? 

...here's a gable. no arrow neccessary

I understand ALL that, now I want to tilt the whole roof up with an angle of 30 degree or a specific distance from a referenece level. That's what I have the slope arrow, I want it at 0'-0" at tail (one side) and 6'-0" at the head of the arrow (on the other side), BUT have a gable roof design

You mean like in this? 

You can also get there with Modify Sub Elements and using Split Line

I have attached another image, it is a side view with a gable roof.

Thanks

I have attached a new image, it is Gable roof and a tile detail on what I'm looking to do.

Use a flat roof then add split line and change sub-element points elevations.  or create a mass with slopes then roof by face.

You can do this with  Modify Sub Elements

Roof by face approach:

I appreciate it, the split elements work that's exactly what I was looking for , I really appreciate it.

Thanks again

You're welcome. Anytime. 

...oh, and BTW: it's a "Split Line", not "Split Element", which is something totally different
