Revit Roof Reference Plane

Another un cut version of bim building information modeling.

Revit roof reference plane.

Click modify to end the line. Detailed review of reference planes beam and roof systems. Select the lock option to lock the reference plane to the line. Select the reference plane and on the properties palette enter a name for the plane.

To pick an existing line. Click finish edit mode and then open a 3d view. Move the cursor near the line to which you want to place the reference plane and click. To raise or lower the roof from the reference level specify a value for offset.

Open the 3d view and click architecture tab work plane panel set. In the work plane dialog select the reference plane name you just created and click ok. Reference plane properties select a reference plane and view or modify its properties on the properties palette. Now the trick is select and name the ref.

Alternatively they can actually be used to control the formation and position of 3d geometry. Plane if you don t none of this works.

Roof profile sketched using spline tool. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. First of all create a reference plane in desired position and if you like lock it to the roof plane this way if you raise the roof the purlins etc.

Name reference planes name each reference plane so you can assign it to be the current work plane. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset. Use the line tool or the pick line tool to draw a reference plane. In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor.

On the draw panel click pick lines. On the options bar specify an offset if desired. To align roof ridges use the align tool. In revit reference planes can be used for two main purposes.

Used in this way they are acting as simple construction lines. Will go with it. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop.
