I have created an extruded roof in Revit 18.  See attached file.) However, when I attempt to add a fascia, Revit does not allow me to select the edges of the roof.
If fascias are not allowed on such roofs, how does one assign a finish material, such as stucco to the sides of the roof? Similar question for assigning a mateirals to the top/bottom of the roof.
Thank you in advance.

It shouldn't be a problem to attach fascias to extruded roofs. I don't see your attachment, so I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but I attach an image with two wxtruded roofs with fascias.

Thank you very much for your response. I am very glad to learn that fascias are available. I have attached a file with the extruded roof.

Rather attach an image showing you problem. What you have attached is an IFC file and we can't do much with that. However, I can view your roof, and I dont think that you should have a problem attaching fascias. In this case, I think that you should have used standard roofs for what you have shown, as these are much more controllable.

Tim,
I have attacehd a screenshot of the roof. The exact issue that I am having is that when I attempt to select a plane of the roof, by selecting the upper edge of a roof plane, to add a fascia, the entire roof is selected.
The screenshot was taken just after I selected an upper edge. As can be seen in the screenshot, the entire roof is selected. Thus, no fascias are added.

Tim,
A link to the Revit file follows: https://www.yousendit.com/download/dDZHNWNzR3N3TGhFQmNUQw
The file is 3MB in size, which is too large to upload to the forum.

When your file is too big, you can always copy your elements to a new file and upload that.

Technically, your roof is not a roof. It’s just an in-place extrusion under the roof category - fascia tool will not work here. Use actual roof tool and create your roof by extrusion or by footprint with a negative slope.

Thank you very much. I will rebuild the roof using the roof tool.

Hoyt, I just noticed something about your roof. Do you want the edges of your roof to be perpendicular to the roof plane (as you have it), or cut plumb?

I want the roof edges to be perpindicular to the roof plane (not plumb). That is why I did not use the standard method of constructing the roof.

Two options:
1. Use what you have - in-place extrusion. Copy to clipboard -> paste to the same place (two roofs in the same place) -> edit one extrusion and make it larger (or smaller) by the thickness of the fascia and adjust the height of it as well -> finish extrusion (green check mark) -> use join or cut geometry tool to remove the inside volume of the ‘fascia’ roof.
2. use roof tool -> cut the edges with in-place void so they are perpendicular to the roof plane -> use fascia tool.
I’d use option 2.
EDIT: File attached
