Roof Issue

[STHRevit]

Hi all,

can anyone shed some light as to why my roof will not model correctly.

Please see attached image.
The perimeter is at a consistent height, but for some reason it wants to place a stupid valley portion, as highlighted.

Any ideas?

That´s because the width of the building varies... You´ll have to adjust the width, or adjust the slope to get an even ridge height ;)

Not sure I follow.

The ridge line running north/south and the ridge running east/west are both equal from thier respective roof edges.
The eave level is set at a constant height and the slopes are all equal.

In reality, the roof should join where the ref planes are drawn, along the valley.
I have managed to get it to work by creating it in two sections (as attached)

For interest sake, the area inside the roof to the top left is actually a "lift up" roof structure to create an observation deck.....

Not sure I follow.

My fault ! Failed to see the ref. lines on your attached image, and thought you wanted something like this: (Then A should have been equal to A)

Make sure you don't have the Overhang or Offset used on any of the edges. I have found that if one of those is used in any area the roof fails to resolve itself well.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
Will have to keep that in mind for next time.
