See "Sketching a Roof by Extrusion" in your HELP.. The slope of the roof is determined by your sketch ...

My question wasn't very clear. In fact I don't want a slope on my roof but I want to incline, to lean it. my profil looks like multiples semcircular line( corrugated iron). The result of the extrusion works very well, but I want to incline the roof. For example, when I am in my elevation view , I can select my roof and if I could rotate it, it would be very nice but Revit said "Can't change plane of Roof Sketch." Sorry I am french and it's difficult to explain it. Thank you.

Use a different host plane for your sketch insteand of the floor or roof plan. You will first have to create this sloping plane in an elevation view. Name the plane then you may be able to select your roof and change its host or you may have to recreate your roof using this new work plane. When you start a roof by extrusion, you can set the plane.

Hello, I created a sloping plan in my elevation. I can't host my roof for the new plan. Even if I recreate my roof I can't set on my sloping plan , Revit accepts all the perpendicular plane for Extrusion but it ignores my sloping plane: When I want to create a Roof by Extrusion and I am in my sloping plan , a box "work plane" opens and in "specify a new work plane" the name of my sloping plan doesn't appear. If I am not in my sloping plan this box doesn't show and I can start my roof by extrusion but is not inclined. May be I should create a mass, but it sounds difficult. Thank you for you help.

Please tell me that you are drawing the extrusion profile in a elevation view and not a plan view??? roof extrusion need to be drawn in elevation and that how you set the slop just like Typhoon said!! *FACE PLANT*

Yes I drew my extrusion roof on the elevation view I put some images. I want to put a slope on my extrusion roof on the House 2 as the house1, but of course the roof of the house 2 is a extrusion roof.

OK KNOW I SEE YOUR PROBLEM, GOTO A 3D VIEW AND CLICK ON THE ROOF, RIGHT NEXT TO THE ELEMENT TAB, THERE WILL BE A TAB CALLED "SHAPE EDITING" CLICK ADD POINT. THAT WILL GIVE YOU POINTS ON EACH CORNER OF THE ROOF. THERE YOU CAN SELECT THE POINTS AND CHANGE THERE LOCATION ON THE Z AXIS WHICH WILL GIVE YOU YOUR SLOPE.

can't u just cut a section through it and rotate it to the specified angle? That's what I usually do for a simple slope like that...

@AllenBall: I didn't know this tool. It's nice but it doesn't work for my roof because I can't access to this "tool". Revit Architecture Help says " Shape Editing for Structural Floors, Roofs and Floors In order to enable shape editing tools, the following conditions must be met: - Structural Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane."
I think my roof isn't considerate as a flat roof because If I create a normal flat roof this tool works. @Wolfmann: In my section view I can't rotate the roof it says"Error: Can't change plane of Roof Sketch." Thank you for your help.

...working with wolfmann's suggestion; in order to rotate the roof, you need to dissassociate it from the work plane first.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS YOU COULD DO A INPLACE MODEL AND MAKE IT A ROOF CATEGORY AND JUST DO A SWEEP. BUT I WOULD ONLY DO THAT AS A LAST RESORT.
