Hi there. I am trying to create a pitched roof with the pitch at a specific place, i.e. not in the middle. This is what I've tried so far. First and second image show the roof pitched by sloping two lines. However as u see the ridge itself ( red line) is tilted and I want it to be aligned to the blue line. hope you understand. Then I tried using slope arrows, but as you see on image 3 and 4 (below) it's sloping at the connection with the wall. See red circle. How do I avoid this problem and align the ridge to the the blue line without that affecting the orange one.
I hope I understand you well..
is that what you want?
if it is..then I used two roofs cutted by a Void Component and finally joined together

Assuming the tops of your exterior walls are at the same height and all level, the roof you desire is not geometrically possible with flat planes.
You would have to twist either the long side or the short side, depending on whether you want the ridges themselves to be constant height or sloped along their length. Which means you need to use the Roof by Face tool after you've modeled a mass with the right twist. This will significantly increase the cost and complexity of the roof.
In the following screencast I have made the ridges level, so the long sides of the roofs are getting twisted.
in addition of what Cris said I attach a geometry theorem .
In Chris screencast Y plane is Level 2 an

That will certainly work for the top planes. However you are left with a flat bottom all the way across, and a roof element of very large volume, right? Maybe that's fine for your purposes? I would need to be showing attic space, a separate ceiling, etc.
And still the long side must be twisted. Does this not bother you? Are you not concerned with how this will actually be built?
