Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion.
Revit 2018 trim roof with plane.
Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.
Trim levels tool works similarly to trim and extend tool of revit.
Get this revit file here.
Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level.
1 create another named ref plane in plan view so as to draw the roof profile roughly at end of roof image 1 2.
Reference plane creates a reference plane using drawing tools.
To cut a beam at a wall create a reference plane in the plane of the wall where you want the cut to occur.
Naming reference planes makes it easier to track their.
Select the reference plane.

This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it.
With it you can easily trim or extend one or more levels to a boundary defined by grid reference plane or detail line.
