Revit how to slope a roof.

Revit roof slope can seem complicated at first glance but by learning a few critical features you can create any roof shape you desire. For instructions see creating a sloped surface using a slope arrow. In the us the slope of the roof is typically expressed as a ratio rise in run or rise run which by general agreement in the us roofing industry always uses 12 inches as the run and states how many inches the roof rises vertically for every 12 inches the roof goes across horizontally sloped roofs commonly have slopes like 6 in 12 6 12 or 8 12. In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by.

So basically edit sketch of the highlighted roof and trace the edge of the front roof then make sure none of the new lines are slope defining. To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition. First activate add split line and draw the lines like below. This is pretty easy to control.

See hd version of video tutorial here. On the properties palette select or clear defines roof slope. Whether you want a double gable roof with 6 pyramid shaped dormers or a simple gambrel roof the basics remain the same. By applying the defines slope property to lines of a roof boundary you can create different roof types including flat roofs gable roofs and hip roofs.

You can use slope arrows to create slopes on a roof. Use slope arrows to define slopes on a roof such as a 4 sided gable roof. To create a hip roof 4 side slope define slope for all boundaries. Creating a roof with different eave heights you can create a roof with slope defined lines at different.

To create a gable roof 2 side slope remove slope for half the boundaries. The following example shows a roof that you can create in revit lt using a slope arrow. Leave only the main roof sketch line slope defining and it will continue to slope down to the next sketch line. Changing slope angle and using slope arrow.

If slope is active for boundary lines a triangle symbol will appear next to them. Then use join geometry to clean it up.
