I keep getting a error from Revit when i try to create a hipped roof on a 57' x 46' building. I can make it with gables on two end but not with hips. Any suggestions?

Are your plate heights all the same? What pitches are you using? Same all around?
the plate heights are all the same. The pitch is 4/12. however even with 6/12 it is an issue. I am able to generate a roof with gables at 2 ends but not with all hips.
doesn't make sense, try a new project, click roof by footprint draw four sides and make sure they are all slope defining. Are you doing the roof as a footprint roof? Or extrustion? If you are using extrusion then you would only get a gable.

did you try just deleting the roof and starting over. please show us a screen shot of your roof and its sketch lines. One other thing to try is to pick a diff. roof type, maybe there is a problem with your roof structure. I'm just guessing.

Although you may be embarrassed to share....your 'user-error' might help someone else not make the same mistake in the future.
I would love to tell you what mistake was made, unfortunately i can't. My boss was the one doing the drawing and kept getting the errors. So i finally got tired hearing him complain about the roof issue and I recreated the drawing on my computer and it worked. I think he just unknowingly change a setting.
