You are having fun here aren't you

I would draw them as seperate roofs & try joining them up (as far as Revit will allow me that is) Then I would cut & trim to fit

I also reckon you will need a valley on blue line location

Can anyone do this as a single roof ?

as a single roof in v7 - although bottom right roof not quite right...

Roger - wouldn't the blue line "valley" need to be at the roof junction?

Sorry Blads but I read the roof Far Left to be lower than the rest.

Is this Right or Wrong Wagurto?

Blue Line location I thought should be taken from the ridge & hip intersection ~ stand to be corrected

Doesn't look quite right with left most roof section floating above the main.

roger we sorta both right - you no longer have to stand
(haven't bother with fixing up bottom right roof)

You know, with a lot of strange roofs like this I end up having to make multiple pieces. Not just 2 pieces but even 3 or more. Haven't done one quite like that though. Wagurto, you might need to place reference planes in your main model for where hips and valleys fall. Then on the left side where the long face of the roof continues well beyond the ridge, that will all be one piece of roof. The remaining pieces of the lower roof butting into that can be 2 pieces (front and back). Then one piece for the main upper roof, and another piece for the small roof at the bottom right of your drawing.

Use lots of sections and use the move and align command in section, then join geometry.

Looks like the other guys have a pretty close solution for you already of course.

This took me about 45 minutes to experiment with and then upload. So it was a bit more work than I thought.
