Revit Tapered Sloped Roof

The program is compatible with following revit versions.

Revit tapered sloped roof. Whether you want a double gable roof with 6 pyramid shaped dormers or a simple gambrel roof the basics remain the same. For clarity sketches for 2 separate ceiling elements are shown together in the illustration. In the option bar make sure defines slope is activated for boundary lines. 1 check define slope to create a sloped roof want to create a sloped roof.

To create a cathedral ceiling create multiple ceilings each with its own slope. To turn a sloped roof into a flat roof select all roof boundaries purple lines and uncheck defines slope in the option bar. Floors and roofs that have been shape edited will not report a true thickness. Technonicol plugin is a revit program add in that contains tools designed to create slopes on a flat roof using tapered insulation sandwich construction leaders as well as catalogs of building systems materials and sketch books of connections.

A variable thickness material used to slope the surface of a horizontal plane for example tapered insulation. Revit roof slope can seem complicated at first glance but by learning a few critical features you can create any roof shape you desire. I m used to showing tapered sections that slope 90 degrees to the main roof slope almost like a very flat hipped roof with ridges perpendicular to the roof and valleys making 45 angles if the tapered is the same slope as the main roof or around 22 5 if the tapered is half or twice the main roof slope. In revit a ceiling element can slope in one direction only.
