Hi, I wonder if someone can help me, please?

I am having problems creating the last dormers in my roof - see attached image. The method I am using is to create the step back in the eaves line then add slopes to create the dormer. This has worked fine on the 8 dormers already created but Revit just will not allow me to add the slopes to the last dormers on the long elevations. In a previous attempt I was able to add all 5 dormers to each of the long elevations but Revit wouldn't then let me add any to the end elevations!

Any help advice would be gratefully received.

Hi Typhoon

 many thanks for the quick response, however, the dormer has a different pitch and ridge height to the others. If I try to adjust it to match then I get the same errors as before. It baffles me as to why settings that work on all the other idential dormers don't work on this one.

 cheers

Jazz
