ROOF JOINS

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble joining the two roofs.

I have 2 roofs one 4 sided with 30° slope and a cut off and a flat roof that fills the the hole.

They are both the same constrution.

Joining them doesn't have the desired effect.

With a wall I would change the wall join type, but I don't know how to with roofs.

Anyone have any ideas,

Many thanks

The layers aren't going to align in Revit  -- or in the field.  It's your solution to decide.   

 

Now you could do a roof by extrusion to visualize what needs to be done.  HINT: Miter.

As @barthbradley wrote, you need to miter the joints and unfortunately Revit won't do that with separate roofs. If you extend the pitched roof so it is long enough you could sweep a in-place void to cut the miter for the outer roof. Then extend the flat roof so you can use another in-place void to cut off the excess so the two roofs appear to miter together properly.

Create it using Roof by face and pick faces of an in place mass of that shape.

Just to be clear here, I didn't suggest mitering the roofs. I merely said "Hint: Miter".  I wasn't suggesting that you miter the buildup layers. That's absurd and certainly isn't a real construction solution here.  The solution is to adjust the thicknesses of the buildup layers.

Use Roof by Footprint with no slopes and then Modify Sub Elements
