You can use height or slope value specify the method and the constraint values from properties palette.
Revit join two gable roof at different height.
This is an awesome undocumented trick that you d never learn without many trial and errors if ever at all.

The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs.
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.
This tool is located in the modify tab.
9 join roofs add opening to create dormer.
Use join unjoin roof tool.
While in sketch mode select a slope defining boundary line.
Change the slope angle of the roof.
Use sloped edges or a slope arrow on a roof to create sloped roof elements.
When using a newer software release you may notice.
Use a slope arrow to define the slope.
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.
Using shape editing tools.
Then follow these 2 steps.
The second works for all roof types.
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.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to.
On the properties palette specify a value for offset from roof base or plate offset from base.
The roof with the lower eave height would require a roof slope pitch greater that the roof with the higher eave height.
Extend roof parallel to ridge.
Then draw the arrow to define the slope direction.
Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown.
This video demonstrates the following.
Click finish edit mode.
There are 2 ways to extend the roof parallel to a ridge.
For creating complex roof it might be easier if you create separate roof then use join roof tool to join them later.
After creating a roof you can adjust the height of the eaves.
To create a dormer model required walls and additional roof.
Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.
Method 1 gable roof with offset ridge.
