I have created a single roof with 2 different levels by adjusting the offset from roof in the line properties.

How to join roofs on different elvels in revit.

Select the wall and use the attach top base button to attach it to the underside of only the 5 1 2 roof. Then from the modify tab on your ribbon use the join geometry command and select the 7 1 2 roof and the wall. I have uploaded a picture of the cad elevation i was given to produce a 3d and my current revit elevation. Select the main roof then click on dormer walls and roof.

Create a dormer opening. Use join unjoin roof tool. To do this method you need to select the roof and edit the roof footprint. Basically the roof is not looking like it should and i do not know what is happening.

Creating complex sloping roofs in revit 2014 roof junctions controlling roof slopes and levels. To make the bottom cut i laid out a level cut for a 4 in 12 pitch. I think the easiest way to do this is by modelling 2 seperate roofs.

Select an edge of the roof that you want to join and then select the wall or roof to which you want to join the roof. The value can be different for each edge. Click edit footprint to enter the sketch mode. First model the 2 roofs.

Click modify tab geometry panel join unjoin roof. I have tried creating 2 roofs and joining them but have had trouble with this as well. It will join in the wrong order and you will need to use the drop down menu next to join to switch the join order. Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.

Select the edge and change the slope value. There are settings in revit to make roof edges at different heights but thats a real mess to set up right. Changing the slope angle. This tool is located in the modify tab.
