A job for a roof gurus

[Wagurto]

I need help from the roof gurus in this forum I expended the whole day trying to do this roof I deal every day with this kind of roof and I find very hard to get productive using revit. I hope when I become more familiar with revit mechanics I will do better.
Thanks
Will
I am attaching the image of what I want and the revit file.

This link is great source for learning roofs. I think the tutorial you want to do is #4 which shows how to do hip roofs with different plate heights.

It's hard to really tell what you are after, but roofs have their own logic and it is best to try and imagine how it is going to be built.
I am no roof guru, but I have been through the learning curve on roofs, probably more than once. I made this roof in one sketch. Have a look at the file. Hope this helps.
