Hi All, Please find attached image I am really struggling to model this roof.
I need it to have a raking ridge line along the angle of adjacent roof.
Really appreciate any help :-(
Regards
Monika

I had to take a guess at the dimensions and slopes, but these are all offset from centerlines so it's about as complicated as you can get.
It's got to be done as multiple objects then joined
I took the main slope over the garage area and applied a 4/12 pitch to it (which gets you the ridge height)
For the other rectangular one I' did the same method but I specified the height at the end of the slope arrow.
The Hip and the other gable end (with a lower point at the exterior than the ridge) I used the modify sub elements to specify elevations.
Hope this helps.

The sloped ridge part could be also done by a swept blend with any excess cut off with a void.

Thank you so much... it was really easy with the sweep blend and then i rotated the roof to suit the plane.
Have a great day regards Monika

Hi Dave, i did not quiet get modify sub-elements. However the roof you modelled was what i needed thanks a lot for trying. Regards

Here's the example model.
I did this original one with floor vs roofs because of how they set up the level offsets.
Roofs go to bottom, floors generally go to top. Makes the math easier. Also you get cleaner results.
But here you go.
When you select a floor or roof object you get to adjust the sub-elements. (Points within the sketch) From there you can adjust the reference what you want that elevation to be. You can also split lines and a few other things. You can create some really weird geometry if you want.
Anyway, let me know if you have any more questions.
Hope this helps.
