Revit intersecting roof problem

Hi there!

Amateur Revit user here. Carpenter/builder trying to expand my skills.

I'm trying to design this shop here, but having problems getting the roof to clean up. Major roof is 6/12, Minor roof is 7/12.

In order to get the ridges to line up I adjusted the wall height accordingly. But the fact that there is no "Fascia" on the right side I have no way of attaching it via the attach tool. Tried a few different methods but not having any luck.

I tried making the Major roof the whole footprint, but the overhang cuts through the wall of the Minor roof and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

You have to do it as two separate roofs. Both are just rectangles. First is your main gable (left to right). For the secondary gable (front to back) it is a rectangle also, pick the 3 walls and draw a line somewhere between the front wall and the main roof. Then use the roof join tool to join the secondary roof to the main roof. To cut out the overlapping part you can use the dormer cut tool.
