Roof > Solid ?? there is no such option.. I guess you mean Soffit ? though
there is -no- sweep option there ?? I'm lost as to what methods you've been
trying to use.. but I can tell you how to make it anyway.
Judging from your pictures and the method you have been trying to use I'd
think you want to produce an 'in-place' object. Go to your modelling tab and
choose 'create' - choose roofs as the family you're going to make. Then do a
simple extrusion or sweep, whatever you like best...
If it's got to be like a real roof, without any construction [I presume that
the sketch you made is including some sort of construction? it's kinda
strange to have it thin on the sides and wide in the middle..] you could
most easily do the main roof by 'Roof by extrusion' - draw the arc in
frontview and that's all, modify it to the right length by aligning.
hope this helps you...
