Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.
Revit how to make top layer of roof longer.
Next to the desired layer of the roof or floor in the assembly select the variable check box.
Creates a roof using the building footprint to define its boundaries.
To create a dormer model required walls and additional roof.
Click ok until all of the dialogs are closed.
If the 2 layers have different materials a line appears at the join.
In the example below we have an exterior wall and an interior wall.
Display a floor plan view or a reflected ceiling plan view.
The one thing to note when modelling a dutch gable roof in revit is to create an internal set of boundary lines to match the size of the higher level gable that will be above.
Layers inside the core of one wall pass through layers of higher priority that are outside the core of the joined.
That means if you have a big cad file with a lot of layers you will have dozens of dumb useless linestyles.
The dutch gable is a combination of a hip roof with a higher level gable roof both of which have been covered previously.
You can use shape editing tools to manipulate the surface of a flat non sloped floor or roof by defining high and low points for drainage.
Exploding a cad file inside revit is one of the worst mistakes you will make in your life ever.
Each layer must have a function assigned to it for revit to match layers accurately.
Then follow these 2 steps.
If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level.

This is 1 for a good reason.
Click modify element tab shape editing panel modify sub elements and make the desired changes to the roof or floor.
Shape edit examples use shape editing tools to slope a constant thickness floor or the top surface of a floor with a variable thickness layer.
This tool is located in the modify tab.

How to model a dutch gable roof in revit.
Click architecture tabbuild panelroof drop down roof by footprint.
For more information see modify the shape of a roof or structural floor.
By specifying the elevation of these points you split the surface into sub regions that can slope independently.
Make sure to set the view detail level to fine to see all the layers.
4 core boundary extend to structure 1 materials.
When using a complex wall type with multiple layers the materials inside the core boundary will extend to the material with the structure 1 function.
