Thank you! Any difficulties not gone over in this video for doing a hip into a shed roof?

Nice and simple

Is there a way you could show how you did the decorative gable attached to the porch gable? I cannot find any resources on how to model it.

[@robertchoutka3191]

Why did you model the garage roof as a separate entity ? You could have modeled this as part of the main house roof thereby saving a lot of extra modeling.

Any ideas on how to create high pitch roof?? Beyond 12/12 slope?

Do you have full video from start to end of this whole project

[@AlexAlex-yc9cd]

How did you make the siding on the roof board and batten siding?

[@susanmissier927]

Could you let me know how you did the smaller gable roof above the porch roof?

[@RiffRaffMama.]

Why not just "pick lines"? It's a lot less of a hassle than dragging lines across such a long distance.

[@monetprotege]

Or pick walls, even better.

Um, how do I say this…that was a little painful to watch. There are actually two better ways to sketch your roof. The tools you should be using are the last two tools. The first one is the ‘pick lines’ tool which is the green line. Before you start, help yourself out by choosing to pick ‘face of structure’, not cl or face of finish. hit the pick line tool and set an offset. Now click on your face of structure, using your tab key to get the right one, which will highlight, and work your way around the structure. Then join and attach slopes as needed. The best tool to use is the ‘pick walls’ tool, which is the last one. The bonus to this tool is if your walls move, your roof goes with it at the prescribed overhang. One thing you do need to adjust is the overhang, which this tool configures from outside face of finish. So just subtract the depth of your finish layers from outside face of structure. For instance our siding finishes are 3/4”, so I use an overhang of 11 1/4”. This one is really easy to pick with, just hover over any wall and click. Then join and add slopes as necessary. The pick walls tool will change your life.

Obviously not your 'first rodeo'. SO... why do you... or rather why does REVIT not have a way to start new roof structures on the T.O.P. level? I noticed every time you have to go tell it that.. and I"m working on one of my first projects in Revit (20+ years experience in AutoCAD but new to Revit) and don't understand why it's not starting new drawing elements on what I would consider to be the obvious level. Like... why's it trying to start a roof on the floor elevation? Pretty clunky interface. Is there a way to tell it once you start working on the ceiling section of a building to put all ceilings at 9' or when working on the roof to put all roof elements (unless otherwise overidden) at the T.O.P. level? Seems so clumsy for an interface. Thoughts?
