Look at these truss famlies and see if one can be modified to meet your needs, or if you can pick them apart to learn how to make a truss in Revit (that's how I learned to make trusses! :) )

Either that, or pay someone to make it for you! ;)

Here is one I made--not perfect, but a good start I think.

I used a truss from rugi and took it apart but when I put it in the model and changed the roof pitch on it, it fell all apart

Maybe you need to beef up the size of the chords ?

Just joking :D

Truss families can be temperamental animals. There is a good tutorial on making them here :-

If you're still having problems, post the family and someone will have a look.
