Mansard roof in revit??

[shaunamorain]

I have attached three pictures of a roof...
I was wondering if this is possible to create in Revit & how I would even go about it- perhaps with a mass?? Has anyone created a roof similar to this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I don't even know where to begin! :screwy:

Shauna,

Look in the help> tutorial > creating roofs > creating a mansard roof....

step by step instructions...

I have done several roofs like this and would certainly recommend the mass approach :)

You may find yourself needing to make the roof in several pieces, but you can usually join them successfully.

Awsome guys! thanks for the quick replys....I'll go look up that tutorial & see what damage I can do!

So after reviewing the tutorials I decided to create this roof in 3 pieces: a flat roof and two masses.
I stumbled upon a problem while creating a roof by face for my last mass, however. I have attached a picture (yeah, go ahead and laugh!!)

The highlighted object is the second roof by face that I created. The first one turned out the same way, but I was able to correct it by selecting "faces at bottom of the roof" in the properties dialogue box. I followed the same steps, how come I can't fix the second one? No matter how I move it- it just doesn't want to budge!

Any thoughts on this?
