Revit roof drains not showing in roof plan.

My original effort at creating this family i had devised excessively complicated formulas in an attempt to reduce parameters and what i originally thought to be simplifying the family as a whole. Appliance annotations show up on roof plan when you created the annotation it was probably created with a generic annotation template. If the crop region on the section view is stopped below the cut plane of the roof plan or any plan view the section mark won t show up. In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display as an underlay.

Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line. Out of the box revit doesn t do this because revit shows it as it s built. Though from long autocad background i m creating a basic dormer with in a roof but the but the roof does not appear in the level. I can see the side walls and the walls that define the dormer but not the roof that should sit on the same view wither joining the walls or at the front south of the building.

Flat roof drainage detail. Some may call this wysiwyg or what you see is what you get. In residential architecture as well as other types it is often a required part of the working drawing set to be able to show the roof overhang as a hidden line on the floor plan views.
