Revit Create Roof Cut Profile

How to create a roof fascia in revit.

Revit create roof cut profile.

In the previous tutorial we learn about creating roof in revit model. We are going to use the roof slab as a gutter. If you are new to revit i would advise you check out this monster revit roof tutorial post first so you are completely familiar with how to model architectural roofs in revit before undertaking the various eaves detail items that are described below. We created a sloped roof and a roof slab below it.

In this tutorial we learn how the edit cut profile tool can be used to modify the boundary that is created when we cut through a model element. The tool is available in plan rcp and section views. Revit gives us three options. Changes made to the profile are view specific.

So in this tutorial we will close it edges using roof fascia. As always the general philosophy here at revit zone is to learn via step by step examples. This video covers how to build a profile family load it into a test project create the wall sweep family and apply it to a wall. Click view tabgraphics panel cut profile.

Click modify tab geometry panel cut drop down cut geometry. First of all you will need to ensure you have a fascia profile family loaded into your project. Select the object to be cut. This will instruct revit to proceed and create the 3d geometry for your roof form.

The default is plumb cut as we have seen in the previous images. We will learn how to create two profile family and use them to define our fascia. Two additional options two cut plumb and two cut square require us to also input the fascia depth in order for them to work properly. Create a new family.

Notice how the roof is built down from the profile sketch you created. Open the revit family with unattached voids and click create tab properties panel family category and parameters. In the above image you can see the roof geometry in elevation. In the family category and parameters dialog select cut with voids when loaded and click ok.

I have split this tutorial into 3 sections in section 1 we ll create a very simple revit model that we ll use for the rest of the tutorial. Load the family into the project and place it. You can change the roof type at any point but the upper surface of your roof type will always be coincident with the.
