There are a couple ways to create the roof you see above. Both options explained below use two different roofs to accomplish the same task.
Option 1
You use two different roofs with different slopes. You create the lower roof by 'Footprint' then use a 'Cutoff Level' and 'Cutoff Offset' property to eliminating the top part of the roof. Then you create the upper roof by 'Foorprint', size it accordingly and align it vertically within the opening in the lower roof.
Option 2 (prefered method)
You also use two different roofs with different slopes. However for the lower roof we use a model 'Opening' to cut a hole in the roof. Then you create the upper roof by 'Footprint', size it accordingly and align it vertically within the opening in the lower roof. I find this my prefered method as it is simplier and easier to adjust. If you delete the 'Opening' the hole dissappears.

A message to the Google humans and the Google Robots > Unlock my blog !
I have started to post Videos on You Tube. Search for 'CADclip'.
Every Monday I send the same stupid reply message to Google after they send me the same stupid automated apology on behalf of the Google Robots for locking down my blog. It's been 9 weeks since REVIT ROCKS has been locked down wothout warning.
I will get back into blogging as I own www.revitrocks.com anyway but with a different 'non-free' provider that is FOR SURE.
In the mean time if anyone is reading this I have started to post Videos on You Tube. Search for 'CADclip'.
Google Blogger sucks !
