I have a stepped roof configuration in plan for a building. Each roof has the same pitch and is stepped in planEach stepped roof must have an overhang. Howvere when constructing the roof line REVIT does not allow for overlapping roof lines. I have enclosed a screen shot that shows the building in 3D and what I need to have happen. Is there a work around to accomplish a stepped roof configuration with overhangs without REVIT giving error messages.

gday mongooseST1,
draw up a few handy reference planes, then
try doing the roofs as separate extrusions,
this way u have control of the roof segments,
then use join geometry. after using join geometry you can still adjust verge overhangs of each roof segment.
just make sure the individual roof planes are same pitch and pitching point, ie at core or ext face etc.
cheers

Thanks Geoff....Can the extrusions have attributes of the various materials to make the roof assembly have the PROPERTIES just like the various roof assemblies in the roof command?

Just edit the roof from your roof plan and drag the overhangs out to where you want them. You can draw this exactly the way you want. If you can, upload your roof with the walls here and we can take a look at it for you. Just remember to purge everthing out so it will meet the size requirements.

That does NOT work. As I had said earlier using the ROOF command to edit the roof as you have stated I run into REVIT errors. While the extrusions using separate work planes sounds great. It is easier said than done...I am having trouble getting the Set Plane command to work on once piece of roof so I can get to the extrusion command that Geoff describes. Moreover, where is the extrusion command on the toolbar at top of REVIT 2014. I see nothing regarding extrusions

day again.
u can find the ref plane command under architecture tab (look on rh side of menu bar at top)
draw ref planes in plan view, give each one a number or name. number is easier.
roof by extrusion is under architecture|roof|roof by extrusion.
when you pick this it asks for a ref plane.
select one you just made and get making that roof. ( remember the roof will be just 2 lines, unlike a profile).
the roof will have the same properties as if you used the roof by footprint command, as far as layers etc.
cheers

I have used the roof extrision command to place the various roofs. REVIT will only join 2 planes but not multiple planes AFTER one has joined the FIRST roof with the second roof......Again The creation and joining are easier saidd than done.
For a simple task of putting down roofs REVIT is convoluted.
I have included the project and the roofs................... have at it and see if you get as far as I did.
Thanks!

the way i approached it was to form a set of gable roofs.
that is /\ so you already have 2 slopes joined.
my version is a series of these roofs, different spans of course with
same pitch and pitching point.
see attached
