I am trying to draw the main floor roof, and have it meet the second floor walls. I have included a pic. the lines in red are what i would like the ridges to do. i know in the software we are converting from, we would draw lines around the second floor walls (where we want the roof to end). and then make them barge's. then when we generate the roof all the slopes would meet at the second floor walls. i un-checked the define slope box for all the purple roof lines that follow the second floor walls. but revit said it couldn't generate the roof. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

WOW! i feel a little silly. when i first asked for help i was picking the walls with an offset for the overhang. i just tried it again, but i drew lines, and then changed the define slopes on the roof that ran along the second floor walls. and Bingo! it worked. thanks to Mr. Spot for suggestion to another revit city user in another thread to draw the lines, instead of picking the walls.

 thanks
