I am having a little difficulty getting Revit to display my roof correctly. All sides of the roof have 3'-0" overhangs from face of core except for the lower side, which has a 4'-9" overhang. For some reason Revit will not correct line up the ridges and displays the roof in an odd way (see attached images). Anyone run into this before?

Edit your roof and use the Align Eaves tool. Select the 'correct' eave - the one you want to align to - and then select adjust overhang in the options bar and pick the eave you want to align.

Thanks! Looks like what I needed to do was adjust the height of the eave. Looks great now.

If it's of interest, one of DGcad's excellent free video tutorials covers this sort of roof behaviour - about halfway through No 6 here:
