ROOF HELP!!!!

[Anonymous]

Quite Lenghty so i apologize.

We did schematic and design development of a house in Sketchup.  Building it in Revit for CD's and ive encountered a problem with my roof.  We have an "architectural piece" for a roof but it slopes in two directions with no ridge, so using defines slope is out because it adds a ridge. Ive tried to use the slope arrow but it doesnt do it correctly. Next step was creating a Generic Model adaptive, creating the roof face then adding the roof by selecting roof by face, but it added edges.  Does anyone have any idea how to get this darn thing to work easily.  Attached are photos.  First file is the the sketchup model with the direction of the roof slope.  Second is my generic model adaptive roof face with the added lines in yellow which i guess are edges.

Would you be able to show me how you accomplished that?

I've made a screencast with the steps...Now , it is processed by Autodesk Screencast Recorder, but at this hour , I'm afraid it will be a rather slow processing and uploading...As soon as it will be ready I'll post it.

it is a rough screencast , but I hope understandable...

For future understanding, please be aware that it does NOT slope in two directions. Any single plane can only slope in one direction, period. Also, it is commonly accepted that roof slope arrows point downward, showing the direction of drainage. So the two red arrows you drew in your first set of images was causing some misunderstanding.

Ha Chris, we are on the same page on that understanding.
