A rounded roof sloping to one of the gables. In Revit there are two ways to accomplish this. Use a roof by extrusion in combination with voids, or an in-place roof family. This tutorial explores the latter method.

12. I could now move the roof a bit down. I discovered that I needed a roof that was a bit longer so I clicked the button Edit with the roof selected.

| 13. And then I clicked Sketch 2D Path and I could make the path a bit longer.
14. And then Finish Path and Finish Sweep. Now I choose Void and then Extrude to cut a bit out of the roof. And I choose Level 1.
15. And Lines on the Design Bar and sketched a Rectangle.
16. Then Finish Sketch and I could use the arrows on the Void to make it cut out the part of the roof I wanted.
17. And I could select a wall and then click the Button Attach and click the roof.
18. And perhaps continue with making some new walls under the roof and attaching them.
