Revit Architecture 2014

A while back I created this simple model for my son, with a sloped curved roof.   He is asking me to make some changes to it and for the life of me I can't remember how I modeled it in.   Can someone take a look at this and give me some help on how to change the shape of the curves.  Essentially the higher portion needs to be higher and the lower needs to extend out past the deck and be much lower.   When I select the roof, I get the "model by face" modify menu, but none of the faces seem to be selectable.   

Thanks,

Mike

You create that with "Roof by Face", you have to edit the "MASS" and change the form of it.

I have mass elements turned on in the view properties, but I cannot seem to select any "mass" to edit.  Is there some other method or trick to select the mass?

Lower right corner, switch so you can select pinned elements.

Thanks for the reply.    No that's not it, all selection switches are on.   I also looked in the families and I don't have any mass families in the project.   Is it possible to create the roof with a mass family then delete the source?

This is your project - not ours.  Perhaps you deleted your mass.  In that case, you will have to create a new one and this time, don't delete it.

I already said I created it and can't remember how.   I am an admitted newby - looking for help..

and I do appreciate the replies.

My question was: "is it possible to create the roof with a mass, then delete the source?"    Can I infer from your reply that this is possible, and if so that is likely what happened? (given that there are no mass families in my project)
