Hello,

I am modelling a green roof. The composition is a concrete slab, rigid insulation and earth. The concrete slab is modelled separately because we will remove it from our model to integrate the slab from the structural slab and, the rigid insulation and earth are modelled as one roof (the architectural part of the roof). This is how we decided to proceed.

My issue is this: the concrete slab is sloped and I want the insulation to have the same slope as the slab while remaining 4" and to have the earth on top to be variable so that the bottom follows the insulation but the top remains flat.

But it seems that I can only modify the points on the top face of the earth and not the bottom... any ideas?

I attached two images: the first is how it is now and second is a sketch of what I would like.

Thanks to anyone that might help!

I don't know what the building shape is but no matter.  Do the roof as roof by extrusion instead of footprint.

I tried your suggestion to do the roof by extrusion but it still gives me the same kind of roof with all the components parallel. If I could extrude a triangle into a roof but I can only extrude a line...After I make the extrusion I can't go in the compositio and modify the layers individually. Is there something specific I need to do after

Come on.... you need to be more creative. 

You do understand that you can have multiple roofs?

The earth portion is an in-place roof.  The two roofs are joined
