I am trying to modify the depth (vertical dimension) of a roof facia on an existing building with a MANSARD ROOF . My first inclination is to modify the facia. The only thing that has worked is to draw a solid extrusion with the facia vertical height and soffit depth and place the solid extrusion over the roof facia. HOW DO I MODIFY THE FACIA OF THE ROOF SO WHEN I PLACE A ROOF THE MANSARD FACIA COMES WITH IT.

Welcome to the forums. If you open the properties of your roof, there is a fascia height setting that may create the look you're after. You should also set the rafter cut to "2 cut - plumb". This will form the horizontal soffit. Play with the thicknesses of your roof structure but keep in mind it will also affect your rake views.

In the roof properties the fascia "height" is not active and not able to change the setting.

you need to select the drop down arrow on the line below that. Right now it says plumb cut. make it 2 cut and this will activate the fascia depth part. I'm not quite sure if this is what you are looking for. I know what a mansard roof is and I know what fascia is, but I don't understand what you mean by mansard fascia. mansards can be a little difficult to do in Revit. sometimes you have to make 2 separate roofs with the different pitches on it at different levels of elevation.

Well I tried changing the cut to 2 cut and was able to set the fascia depth to 3'-0". but the fascia did not change (currently using a Generic 12" roof). What I have done at this point due to time constraint is to make a new fascia profile and place that on top of the fascia drawn by (what comes with) the roof. It is not a true mansard roof. It is a standing seam roof that turns down vertically to make a 3'-0" fascia. Thought "mansard" would communicate the roof condition i.e roof slope turns down to a vertical condition of some length greater than a simple fascia.

I would suggest that you do a new facia for what you need. This is a great way to learn how these profiles work. I recently did a facia that included a soffit reurn - profile was an L shape. Your facia can only be one material but as long as it is a closed area, it can take on any shape.
