Use sloped edges or a slope arrow on a roof to create sloped roof elements.
Revit join two gable roof at different height.
This video demonstrates the following.
This is an awesome undocumented trick that you d never learn without many trial and errors if ever at all.
Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown.
After creating a roof you can adjust the height of the eaves.
On the properties palette specify a value for offset from roof base or plate offset from base.
While in sketch mode select a slope defining boundary line.
Use join unjoin roof tool.
Method 1 gable roof with offset ridge.
Extend roof parallel to ridge.

Sloped edges on a roof sketch line create a sloped roof.
Click finish edit mode.
Thx the only way to have an off centered peak with the same slope on both sides is to have one eave higher than the other.
You can use height or slope value specify the method and the constraint values from properties palette.
The only work around i was able to come up with was draw two different roofs but i m wondering if there s anything i m just missing in the roof edit properties.
Then follow these 2 steps.
This tool is located in the modify tab.
Then draw the arrow to define the slope direction.
To keep the ridge line centered on the structure and have 2 eaves at different heights with identical overhangs you would have to have 2 different roof slopes.
The roof with the lower eave height would require a roof slope pitch greater that the roof with the higher eave height.
Change the slope angle of the roof.
The second works for all roof types.
Define a sloped edge to a sketch line.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to.
Using shape editing tools.
9 join roofs add opening to create dormer.
Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.
The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs.

When using a newer software release you may notice.
For creating complex roof it might be easier if you create separate roof then use join roof tool to join them later.
