Hi,

I need to model a roof with different terrain and slope direction on both top face and bottom face.

PART A: The top face needs to reflect drainage direction and slope.

Bottom face needs to slope with the structural beam direction. Therefore, you have different slope and terrain on both side.

If that's possible, there are several other criteria.

PART B: The roof is made of 3 layers (can be model separately as three different objects). Top most and bottom most layers have the same thickness through out. It is the middle layers that various in thickness to accomdate the two different terrain. (it is the insulation)

Please let me know even if you have solution for only one of the parts.

Variable thickess of roof layers only work for flat roofs, so there´s no easy way to get what you want.

 If you really need to model the drainage directions, I´d suggest that you create a facebased family for the wedge insulation. Good luck.
