I have problem with the roof making in Revit..

Please see my attachments for CAD roof plan, revit model and sketchup model. The sketchup model may not exactly match the revit model, I just want to use skethup model to address how the roof looks like in 3D.

the only way in Revit I know is to make 2 pieces of roof, but if you zoon in closer, you could see these 2 pieces of roof are not aligining well...

PS. The revit model is too big to upload here, please use the link to download

Thanks for help!

Another question is I am trying to join these 2 pieces of roof so I can see the intersection lines, but I am not able to do that. 

Thanks!

You can't use the "Join/Unjoin Roof" tool or "Join Geometry" tool, so, create a "Void" in "Model In-Place" in roof category and cut that portion of roof you don't need.

Hope this help
