Revit Roof By Footprint Ridge Control

Revit 2017 roofs by footprint and joining complicated roofs.

Revit roof by footprint ridge control.

The roof by footprint tool is used for both flat and sloped roofs. Use slope arrows to define slopes on a roof such as a 4 sided gable roof. Please can anyone guide how to achieve this. Click edit footprint to enter the sketch mode.

But that is not very helpful because it only allows me to edit perimeter lines of roof which are actually offsets from plan below. The only edit mode i can gain access to is edit footprint. If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level. Click architecture tabbuild panelroof drop down roof by footprint.

Example 1 a roof by footprint with equal slopes of 30 degrees. To do this method you need to select the roof and edit the roof footprint. I am trying to edit a roof which has two ridge lines. A simple loft by in place mass between these 3 lines should do but all efforts in vain up till now.

When i try to move one to the same place as the other the whole roof moves. You can use slope arrows to create slopes on a roof. Changing the slope angle if you see the symbol then the edge will be generated having slope. We used the formula.

Creating a roof with different eave heights you can create a roof with slope defined lines at different. For this we have to change the height of the right eave using offset from roof base at a negative value. We want to move the ridge by 1 50 meters to left. It can be done using 2 footprint roofs but seems it s also doable to only use 1 footprint roof isn t it.

The following example shows a roof that you can create in revit lt using a slope arrow. This probably because when i select it i am not in edit mode. If you choose not to move the roof to a different level revit lt notifies you later if the roof is too low. If you d like to learn everything about revit roofs you may be interested in my revit roofs masterclass course.

I tried but in vain attached thumbnails last edited by ning zhou. April 6th 2018 at 04 19 pm. In this revit architecture tutorial i ll show you how to use it to create both roof types flat and sloped. Im trying to achieve the effect as in the picture attach.
