Im building a green home for school, and I'm building a design that has a reverse pitched or "V" shaped roof (to catch the water) that will be metal sheeting, and it will fit right into the supporting walls, so it can't be a big object like revit builds roofs.

 Any help is greatly appreciated!

 It needs to be something like the attached picture

What do you mean by "it can't be a big object like revit builds roofs"?  Revit builds roofs to the thickness and make up that you specify.  The roof you show is very easy to create using Roof by footprint and assigning negative pitches or using roof by extrusion and just drawing the V shape in a section or elevation and extruding out the shape.

First off, thankyou for taking the time to reply, my choice of words was bad, but I was playing with it and was able to get what i wanted very easy by doing roof by extrusion.  My only problem now is how to get the walls to meet that roof in that "v" shape...........

Really i don't no what's the problem but if you want walls goes to the roof pick in the wall and then pick in "ATTACH", (by default was "TOP"Winking and pick in the roof, that's all...
