Hello all,
So, I have a set of plans that I am trying to adapt into Revit (2013). I am new to Revit, but I have a pretty good basic understanding of the tools available to me, though am having trouble figuring out how to adress this particular situation.
As you can see from the attached images, I have run into two problem areas. The numbers below refer to the numbered hilghlighted areas in the images:
#1. I have here a wall that partially attaches to a roof, and is partially open on both sides (for the inset deck).I cannot seem to figure out how (if possible) build a wall that is on one end sloped without being attached to a roof. From the Revit pic, do I have the proper levels established, and how might I go about creating these sloped walls?
#2. The second issue is related to the first. I suppose with the sloped walls built, this roof will come together a bit easier. However, one issue I am facing is when I create this roof, using roof by footprint, I create the roof lines on the inside of the walls. In doing this, the only way to get an overhang on the west is using a negative overhang. Is this the best way?
#2(cont) As you can see from the west elevation, I have here a sloped wall that "ends" into nothing (it butts up against the inset deck). So, while I can draw this wall on the "west roof" level and establish proper start-end points, I do not know how to slope the wall in one direction without attaching to top to something (i.e., a sloped roof)
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. Also, I do not have experience with the more advanced features of Revit (such as massing), and if these are skills I need to acquire to accomplish what I am trying to, please let me know.
Thanks in advance everyone!

You can click on your wall and edit the profile of the wall to be whatever you want, you don't need to actually attach it to the roof. Also you do not need a negative roof overhang, just draw the roof line where you want it and put a 0 for the overhang.
