How To Display Roof Valleys And Ridges Revit

I am having trouble with getting a view template set up for structural framing plans and specifically for a roof framing plan.

How to display roof valleys and ridges revit. Hello i read here and there that the best way is to create roof valley with roof fascia. But i m not really sure if this is a best practice. I believe this tools are not design for this purpose. The biggest issue i am after tackling is how does one set up a structural plan view to see the modeled roof not talking about modeled trusses just use of the roof by footprint tool of planes that create ridges.

I did on my model but i am not very happy with the results. Also different architectural styles will use the same type of roof. To align roof ridges use the align tool. Then in the graphics area in the underlay drop down select the level on which the roof was created to display the roof as an underlay.

Open the 3d view and click architecture tab work plane panel set. In the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line display the element properties dialog box for the view. We used the formula. For creating complex roof it might be easier if you create separate roof then use join roof tool to join them later.

Using shape editing tools. I need to create that to be able to get in schedule lenght of it. Intricate roofs have many parts that incorporate several of the basic roof designs such as a gable roof sitting atop a gambrel or variations of the gable valley roof design using one or a variety of different types of roof trusses also see our very detailed diagrams showing the different parts of a roof truss. You need to create the bay window roof separately.

This is the easiest way to do it. 1 5 tan 30 2 the value of the offset is calculated by revit. Select the reference plane and on the properties palette enter a name for the plane. We want to move the ridge by 1 50 meters to left.

For this we have to change the height of the right eave using offset from roof base at a negative value.
