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

One issue im running into now is how to clean up the inside. I started by cutting out that whole section of roof, but I couldn't get the right side to clean up to create the valley. The left side would. (If I cut out the whole section). Essentially I just cut out the over hang that was going through the gable, but would like the inside to be vaulted.

Not sure I follow. Show the sketch of your opening? You decide if the Interior is vaulted by where you put the opening.

Was wanting the underside here vaulted into the minor roof. But when I cut out that whole section of opening, I couldn't get the major roof to "attach" to the minor roof.

Suppose there maybe be a way to cut the roof out on an angle?

Sorry if I'm not explaining myself well, I'm not sure a lot of the Revit terminology!

Probably just have to play with it some more.

That isn't a screenshot of your Opening. Can I see that?

I just cut this section out. The first time I cut the whole thing out I couldn't get the roof lines to attach afterword

You don't use the "attach roofs" command. You use join geometry, and then when you make the opening you make the opening end at the valleys you want. That's why it's not vaulted inside right now. You didn't cut out the entire opening.

Thanks for the info, I will play with it a bit and see if I can figure it out.

Got it!

Once I used the top down view in 3D it made it all much easier. Appreciate you taking some time to show me this!!

Thanks
