Creating Roofs in Revit: A Guide

The document discusses three tools for creating roofs in Autodesk Revit: 1) Roof by Footprint, which allows sketching the roof outline and specifying the pitch, and Revit automatically generates the roof. 2) Extrude Roof, which defines a work plane to sketch a roof profile that is then extruded. 3) Roof by Face, which is for complex roofs where the user first creates a shape for Revit to generate the roof along. The most common tool is Roof by Footprint, which involves sketching a closed loop outline and specifying slope lines.

Roof in Revit

Terlikbayeva Aimira
To create roofs in Autodesk Revit
Program we can use 3 tools.

1 Roof by footprint allows you to sketch 3 Roof by Face is intended for creating
the outline of the roof, specify whether complex roofs - when using this tool,
it will be pitched or flat, and from this you must first manually create a shape,
data Revit automatically creates a roof. after which Revit will create a roof
along the face of this shape.
2 Extrude Roof allows you to define a
work plane and use it to create a
sketch of a roof profile, which Revit will
extrude into a 3D object.
The most common of these tools is the.

Note: If you try to add a roof on the


lowest level, a dialog prompts you
to move it to a higher level. If you Sketch, or pick, a closed loop for the roof.

later if the roof is too low.
When a roof line is set to slope defining, this symbol appears
adjacent to it.
On the Draw panel, select a sketch or pick
tool. To edit roof properties before
sketching, use the Properties palette.
Tip: When using Pick Walls, you can specify
the overhang before you sketch the roof.
On the Options Bar, select Extend to wall
core if you want the overhang to be
measured from the core of the wall, and
then specify a value for Overhang.

Note: To apply sloped glazing, select the roof, and in the


Type Selector, select Sloped Glazing. You can place
curtain grids on the curtain panels of the sloped glazing.
Press Tab to switch between horizontal and vertical grids.

Add a roof to another roof

1 To cut off a roof in order to sketch


another roof on top of it, select the
roof in the drawing area.

2 On the Properties palette, specify a Cutoff Level, and then


specify a height for Cutoff Offset.This property specifies
the distance above or below the level at which the roof is
cut off.

3 Sketch the new roof on top of the


existing roof.
