I seem to have locked up the other thread. Sorry. Hello, I'm Gord, and I'm using Revit Architecture 2010. I've been attempting to connect several single-slope rooves and remove the excess pieces so it all came to a single valley. Also, I'm attempting to extend the roof on the right so its eaves connect with the eaves on the roof facing the viewer. I've watched several CAD clips, but I haven't been able to use the same techniques because when I try to edit the footprint, I don't have the connected geometry lines to use. If anyone could help me clear up this issue it would be appreciated.

If you're working with several individual roofs, your best friend is the join roof command. You select the leading edge of one, and then the plane of the roof you want it to meet, and voila, they extend to meet. At this point, you can switch to a top-down view, to see where they join, and then edit the footprint of the latter roof to exclude bits of roof you don't need. There's no tool to trim, exactly. In the attached image, the selected roof has its flat end joined to the center roof, which, as is shown by being highlighted, then had its footprint altered to be an hourglass.

Unfortunately, I've already joined the central roof to the roof on the right hand side, so it won't let me extend the lower eaves any farther with join roof (as it would undo the first join. As for the roof on the left hand side, there's really nothing to join because the left hand and central roof are already intercepting eachother. It's overrun that I'm trying to cut off.

When i have this kind of situation, I hadd a detail line in roof plan where the roofs join, then I edit the roofs to that line.

Thanks WWHub, I tried it, and that worked perfectly!
