Hi All,
Revit is not able to change the fascia depth to 5-1/2" (two cut plumb) on the main, wedge-shaped roof... There is a lot going on with the geometry (trimming), so maybe Revit 2013 doesn't know where to put the rafter cut.
Maybe there's another way to construct it?
Here is a link to download the in-place mass and roof: http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/5nt8ym 
Thanks for any suggestions,
Zephyr

May I ask why did you created those roof with MASS when you can create all of them by "FOOTPRINT" ???

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't use that method because I didn't know what the footprint would be-the "wedge" part will be framing directly onto the cone roofs. In the version you did there are gaps between these roofs...

Is there a way to extend them into each other, to make them "watertight" after creating them "by footprint"? I'll try the dormer extend method...

I'm also going to try making the massing with fewer voids and then trim using the roof trim tool to trim, then to to extend where needed...

Any other ideas?

Looks really good, aside from the 5.5" two-cut plumb fascia not working... 

Did you use in-place massing voids?

How were you able to use a revolve for the cone void masses? I don't see the option to use revolves in the in-place massing environment.

Thanks again for your help.
