Add a roof using one of the following methods.
Revit set roof to reference plan.
Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion.
I m trying to currently show the cavity wall outline only with my roof outline overlaid as such.
Click on each roof edge line to change the linetype.
Create tab draw panel reference plane to draw a line.
Now if the slope of the roof changes the reference plane will folow the slope and the beam system will follow the reference plane.
Sketch a roof by footprint display a floor plan view or a reflected ceiling plan view.
Of course when they latter opened the floor plan they couldn t find the elevation tag.
Do the roof first create a reference plane that is aligned and locked to the roof then set a view that is perpendicular to that reference plane and use that to sketch the beam system.
There doesn t seem to be a way in the tag properties to reassign the elevation tag level reference.
That is the vertical reference planes on the left and right hand side of the image.
Click architecture tabbuild panelroof drop down roof by footprint.
Once you get the roof plan view range adjusted hide wall and any other categories like furniture plumbing etc in.
If i change the cut in the view range to go lower it shows the cavity wall outline but cuts the roof.
Capture other features modelled below.
If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level.
Take the above example.
Select the linework tool in the view panel on the home ribbon.
Revit displays the modify linework contextual ribbon.
Keeping lower than that might.
In this image we are looking down plan view on to the top of an extruded roof i ll show you how to create these later on in the course.
In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor.
I have a situation where a new revit user unknowingly placed an elevation tag callout on the roof level verses the floor level.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it.
Create tab datum panel reference plane conceptual design environment.
On the draw panel click line.
If they hadn t spent so much time creating the elevations i would just have them.
1 create another named ref plane in plan view so as to draw the roof profile roughly at end of roof image 1 2.
And remove underlay if there is any.
Select the desired linetype from the line style type selector.
If you choose not to move the roof to a different level revit notifies you later if the.
Bottom and view depth just below roof level or roof level itself.
Cut plan keep above roof level.
Go to end view of roof elevation face on to new named ref plane select roof by extrusion the.
