I've looked all over the internet and the forums here, but have not found an answer to this question.
Is there a tutorial anywhere that explains how to create a residential roof with varying pitches?
Everything I have come across, even examples of complex roofs, use the same pitch all the way around, but in the real world most houses have one pitch side to side and a different pitch front to back.
I have a roof that has a 12:12 side to side pitch and a 7:12 front to back pitch. I know from years of experience that using the standard construction methods here in Texas that a 12:12 pitch has a 1'-0" overhang and that a 7:12 pitch has a +/- 1'-8" overhang.
However, even using the align eaves command, Revit gives me an overhang in excess of 2'-1" for the 7:12 pitch and, even though I had the "Extend into Wall" box checked the roof did not intersect the inside face of the stud as it should.
Is there a tutorial out there for this type of roof? Any tips/tricks I should be aware of?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
