Roof Misbehaving - Please Help

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hey All,

 

I have a werid thing happening with my roofs today.  I'm developing some backgrounds of an existing building and when I apply a rectangular roof with multiple slopes (2 sides are 12"/12" and the other 2 sides are 3"/12"), I get a "droopy" effect at the soffit locations on the 12"/12" sides.  Any suggestions on why this is happening?  Please help!  I know it shouldn't look like this because the existing building was built evenly at the corners, not "droopy"...I'm assuming Revit just may not like my pitches, but after trying multiple slopes, it still does the same thing. 

 

See the attached images.

Oh...I forgot the main issue. It only applies the "droppy" effect when I add a 1'-0" (or anything other than 0) soffit - which exists on the building so therefore, I need to include the soffit.

See the attached.  It's part of the building but you'll get the idea.  Thank you for your help on this!

Accepted solution

Edit the roof, select the edges and Align Eaves using Adjust Height option.  I post some screenshots because the model I edited is 2016 and you are on 2014.

Thank you! I knew there had to be a way to edit this, but I couldn't find anything. That worked perfectly!
