Charl van der merwe building and architectural design charl revit ridge roof tile introduction with this video we aim to show how you can use the standard fascia roof tool and just with a different profile create a ridge tile for your roof.
Revit changing roof ridge.
How to create roof ridge caps and roofing sheets in revit models in a simple way.
I modeled a revit roof for each roof pitch that we normally encounter then used sections and detail views to determine the appropriate angle for each hip and ridge type.
Specifically i was looking at making some ridge vent tile and hip cap tile shingle families.
To fix your roof select the edge of the roof that is lower in the sketch of the roof.
When you are sketching the roof revit assumes all lines of the sketch are at the same height.
If the eves are at the same height the overhang is the same and the slope is the same the ridge line will appear in the middle of the roof.
First how we determine the formula.
Edit the roof sketch select the roof and click modify roofs tabmode panel edit footprint or edit profile.
If you want to change the position of the roof use the properties palette to edit the base level and offset properties to change the position of the reference plane.
How to create roof ridge caps and roofing sheets in revit models in a simple way.
Name description construction structure defines the composition of a compound roof.
Figured it was time to share a solution to a problem i worked on a month or so ago.
Families are placed by drawing on a selected roof face or by selecting a roof edge using the pick line tool.
It is a matter of geometry.
Changes to type properties apply to all instances in the project.
Long time lurker sporadic contributor here.
When using roof by footprint sometimes i need to change the position of the ridge in plan view.
This implies also to change the height of the eaves the eaves will be no more at the same level so by changing the height of one eave using a formula and without changing slopes we will achieve our purpose.
I wanted to make some roof accessory families to increase model accuracy.
Modify type properties to change a roof family s structure fill pattern and more.
Default thickness indicates the thickness of the roof type.
After creating a roof you can change its shape or overhang cut openings or align ridges.
