I'm trying to figure out how a roof like this can be done in Revit.

When I try to recreate it, this is what happens:

Is there a trick I don't know about that could make this type of roof?

Create the low level roof first. Create the high level roof second. Use voids to cut both, so they do not overlap.

Thanks. I was able to do this by creating 3 roofs, and using Opening by Face command to "cut away" the parts of the roof I don't need. Then joined all 3 roofs.
