Revit Roof Profile

Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.

Revit roof profile.

Roof profile sketched using spline tool. Made of polyester coated metal sheet for exact color range in your country please visit your local lindab website. Now that the fascia profile has been loaded we can place the fascia board geometry to our roof eaves. To find out more about us visit our website.

You can load it by accessing revit menu open family. When you are happy with your profile sketch go ahead and hit the green cross. Now open your training file. Load the profile we created before.

In the above image the profile you see 2 is the complete profile for this roof. As before select roof by extrusion pick your plane and assign your reference level. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. This will instruct revit to proceed and create the 3d geometry for your roof form.

Now that you have created your revit structural decking floor type you are ready to create your floor. Best way to approach a gambrel style roof in revit is by using the roof by extrusion tool. For static design and calculations use lindabs own developed software lindab structuraldesigner which you will find on lindabs website. Give a relevant name such as roof slab edge profile.

Draw one half of your gambrel roof profile working from the roof midpoint ridgeline out towards the eaves. After creating a roof you can change its shape or overhang cut openings or align ridges. You can now select the roof edges that will host your fascia board in sequence around your roof. Edit the roof sketch select the roof and click modify roofs tab mode panel edit footprint or edit profile.

I say again do not create a closed loop revit will not accept it for this type of sketch. A classic roof profile that suites most applications. To begin creating your fascia in revit navigate to the architecture tab roof dropdown fascia. Creating your floor and cantilevers.
