6 sided mass object

[bob.86982]

Can someone tell me how to make a mass object that is 6 sides at the base and comes to a point at the top and has parameters for base width and pitch for roof slopes.

I was able to make a mass for walls that has 6 sides with parameters for base width and height but I want to be able to add the roof form to go on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why a mass? Why not just the roof....sketch 6 sides and give all sides a slope?
As for the mass...if you really need a mass...
I haven't done this in a while...but I believe that the revolve has an option for it to be segmented...so do the one profile section (1/2 of section) and tell it to be segmented around an axis...

Thanks Luigi, I will try it, I wanted the mass object so I could do a massing study before adding walls and roofs.
