What is this Roof called? And how do I create it in Revit?

( I don't think I can use cut-off planes because there are gables )

I'm going to just follow up with my next question. I only created the architectural roof to utilize the 3d snapping tool for ridge and valley beams. The valley beams work fine, but as you can see in the attached image, the ridge beam sits too high. How do I lower it to the correct height, so the corners of the beam are touching the underside of plywood?

Is the best way with z-Direction Offset? I can use the Measure tool to check the dimension to lower, but I don't know how to either move to the intersection, or cut and paste the measurement to the Properties box.

Thanks jterrell

I saw the Offset from Roof Base.

What I had to do to find it was take a measurement on the architectural roof plan horizontally, go to an Elevation, draw in the horizontal line and angled line with the roof slope, set that to the peak of the roof then measure from the Roof Base to get that Offset dimension to put into the properties of the line. If there is a faster way I'm all ears... or all eyes I guess in this case.

Anyone know the name of the roof style? It's kind of a partial hip / gable.
