I am modeling an ornamental pediment using either a pair of stand-in 'false roofs' (one pitched to create the gable, one flat to finish the level leg across the bottom), or one false roof and and one false wall, to host fascia or wall sweeps for my pediment profile.
Works almost fine except that I've exhausted the options I know to join them - join command, cut and trim commands, fascia sub-commands ... and I can't seem to create a clean join.
In other software, I would use a simple Split command, or a Boolean operation, but I'm not hitting the nail on the head here.
I know Revit can cleanly and easily sweep an entire triangle with the profile if I do so in a conceptual mass family outside my project model (draw triangle, pick point, draw profile, select all, create solid form, voila!), but I get the classic cryptic Error 1 when I try to load that mass into Revit ... but it shows that Revit is capable of that kind of operation.
Images attached. I would be deeply grateful for anyone's insights.

Simple... use a "Roof Fascia", just select the 3 edges, done.
If you need create three "Model lines" then select those lines

Aha! I tried all manner of gymnastics but always assumed that only a roof itself could host a fascia. Brilliant. Thanks, Typhoon. Your posts are always appreciated.
