Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown.
Revit join two gable roof at different height.
Use a slope arrow to define the slope.
Change the slope angle of the roof.
Method 1 gable roof with offset ridge.
Extend roof parallel to ridge.
Use join unjoin roof tool.
While in sketch mode select a slope defining boundary line.
This is an awesome undocumented trick that you d never learn without many trial and errors if ever at all.
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.
After creating a roof you can adjust the height of the eaves.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to.
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.
The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs.
Then draw the arrow to define the slope direction.
The second works for all roof types.
Click finish edit mode.
For creating complex roof it might be easier if you create separate roof then use join roof tool to join them later.

There are 2 ways to extend the roof parallel to a ridge.
Use sloped edges or a slope arrow on a roof to create sloped roof elements.
When using a newer software release you may notice.
On the properties palette specify a value for offset from roof base or plate offset from base.
Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.
9 join roofs add opening to create dormer.
Using shape editing tools.
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.
Then follow these 2 steps.
Sloped edges on a roof sketch line create a sloped roof.
The roof with the lower eave height would require a roof slope pitch greater that the roof with the higher eave height.
This video demonstrates the following.
You can use height or slope value specify the method and the constraint values from properties palette.
