I'm so having a hard time figuring out on how to create this roof. (please see attachments). What would be the best tool to use  model this? FYI... the Architect don't have any roof plan yet, just elevations. I've tried the in-place family with no luck. I've tried the regular roof tool with no luck. I have not tried to use the floor tool yet to make it as a roof. Although i think the best way to do this is in-place family... i'm still having a hard time. Can anyone show me how to do this step by step? your help would be greatly appreciated. Please not the arching ridge - please ignore the diffent slope on the "front elevation" just make it one slope. thanks.

 Thanks,

~Allan

Use a mass family no model the roof profile, then create a roof by face. See the attached file.
