Revit 2018 Trim Roof With Plane

Select the reference plane.

Revit 2018 trim roof with plane.

Split element cuts an element such as a wall or line at a selected point. Select the beam to be cut. Go to end view of roof elevation face on to new named ref plane select roof by extrusion the select new named ref plane from drop box. This video goes over the steps to clean up two different roof elements.

This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it. That is the vertical reference planes on the left and right hand side of the image. Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion. To raise or lower the roof from the reference level specify a value for offset.

Click modify tab geometry panel cut drop down cut geometry. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop. 1 create another named ref plane in plan view so as to draw the roof profile roughly at end of roof image 1 2. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.

Trim extend to corner trims or extend one or more elements to form a corner. Gr grid re scale el elevation vr view range. Reference plane creates a reference plane using drawing tools. Naming reference planes makes it easier to track their.

Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. If you move the wall or the beam the cut will persist at the wall unless the beam is no longer joined with the wall. The bad thing about extruded roofs is the fact you can t follow along with the footprint of your building the good thing is we can do something about that the objective of this video is to go to the plan view we will then create a void where our walls jag in and out this is going to allow revit to cut the roof properly in plan to get started jump into your revit roofs. Split face divides the face of an element into regions for application of different materials.
