How To Add Points To A Roof In Revit

This video demonstrates the following.

How to add points to a roof in revit.

Display a floor plan view or a reflected ceiling plan view. Add a point to a roof or structural floor. Notice everything is greyed our except for the settings button. Split a roof or structural floor you can use the add split line tool to add linear edges and to split the existing face of a roof or structural floor into smaller sub regions.

To do this method you need to select the roof and edit the roof footprint. Click on the face or edges of the floor or roof to add points that. The elevation edit box displays on the options bar with a relative check box next. Click modify floors tab shape editing panel add point.

If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level. Creates a roof using the building footprint to define its boundaries. The points are used by the shape modification tools to change the element geometry. Define a sloped edge to a sketch line.

Select the floor or roof to modify. Changing the slope angle if you see the symbol then the edge will be generated having slope. Sloped edges on a roof sketch line create a sloped roof. Click architecture tabbuild panelroof drop down roof by footprint.

Use a slope arrow to define the slope. Before you are able to place points you will have set things up. If you choose not to move the roof to a different level revit notifies you later if the roof. Click edit footprint to enter the sketch mode.

So we are all setup and are ready to place points. Use the reset shape tool to go back to a completely flat roof removing all split lines and points. You might prefer to use the add split line tool which create points at intersections. Add a negative value to the middle points and a slope is created.

When using a newer software release you may notice. Use sloped edges or a slope arrow on a roof to create sloped roof elements. Change the slope angle of the roof. Add a point to a roof or structural floor you can use the add point tool to add singular points to the element geometry.

We will start with insert points first.
