Revit Offset From Roof Base

For example in the following section view.

Revit offset from roof base.

We used the formula. It is a matter of geometry. To move the lower boundary below the base level enter a negative number. We want to move the ridge by 1 50 meters to left.

For this we have to change the height of the right eave using offset from roof base at a negative value. When you are sketching the roof revit assumes all lines of the sketch are at the same height. If you want to adjust the height position of your roof then select the roof and in the properties panel you can change the base offset from level to do that. It s a good idea to do it from your elevation views for accuracy.

Example 1 a roof by footprint with equal slopes of 30 degrees. See roof boundary line properties. The lower boundary of the room starts at level 1. If you choose truss the plate offset from base is measured from the outside of the wall.

If you choose rafter the plate offset from base is measured from the inside of the wall. If the eves are at the same height the overhang is the same and the slope is the same the ridge line will appear in the middle of the roof. Extend into wall to core specifies the overhang dimension from the roof edge to the exterior core wall. To see the effects of this property more clearly set a value for plate offset from base other than 0.

Room 2 has a base offset of 1000. Room 1 has a base offset of 0. Specifies the offset of the slope line from the base of the roof. It will join in the wrong order and you will need to use the drop down menu next to join to switch the join order.

Offset from roof base. Select the wall and use the attach top base button to attach it to the underside of only the 5 1 2 roof. I m going to leave mine as it is. Then from the modify tab on your ribbon use the join geometry command and select the 7 1 2 roof and the wall.
