Do the roof first create a reference plane that is aligned and locked to the roof then set a view that is perpendicular to that reference plane and use that to sketch the beam system.
Revit set roof to reference plan.

Once you get the roof plan view range adjusted hide wall and any other categories like furniture plumbing etc in.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
I ve attached an image as to how far i ve got.
And remove underlay if there is any.
Of course when they latter opened the floor plan they couldn t find the elevation tag.
In this image we are looking down plan view on to the top of an extruded roof i ll show you how to create these later on in the course.
Sketch a roof by footprint display a floor plan view or a reflected ceiling plan view.
That is the vertical reference planes on the left and right hand side of the image.
Now if the slope of the roof changes the reference plane will folow the slope and the beam system will follow the reference plane.
Select the linework tool in the view panel on the home ribbon.

Add a roof using one of the following methods.
Revit displays the modify linework contextual ribbon.
Click on each roof edge line to change the linetype.
Keeping lower than that might.
Select the desired linetype from the line style type selector.
On the draw panel click line.
This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it.
Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion.
If you choose not to move the roof to a different level revit notifies you later if the.
As you can see i have my roof outline over a wall outline but no cavity lines in the wall.

In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor.
If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level.
If i change the cut in the view range to go lower it shows the cavity wall outline but cuts the roof.
I m trying to currently show the cavity wall outline only with my roof outline overlaid as such.
Take the above example.
Cut plan keep above roof level.
If they hadn t spent so much time creating the elevations i would just have them.
There doesn t seem to be a way in the tag properties to reassign the elevation tag level reference.
