Flat roof?

[LCE]

So my ground floor is a box, say 20m x 20m, my first floor is a box, say 18m x 18m. How can I put a flat roof to fill the gap?
I have tried a few things, by drawing lines, etc. but it doesn't seem to be allowing the inner loop to define the roof boundary.

Any help?

Cheers

hi, im confused (call me stupid) where are you putting the roof?

[James]

aha i get it, after attaching the image!

do you mean like this?

if so, draw the roof then use >modelling>opening>shaft opening and draw lines around the inner box to cut the roof.

OK, if you insist. STUPID.

Yes. exactly like that.

Thanks James, I knew I could count on you. It seems so obvious now...:oops:

Here we go then. First attempt with Revit. Approx 45 minutes.
Remember, I am not a designer. I do not have a creative bone in my body.
First image was high quality render. (30mins approx, ouch!)
Second image was low quality render.

Oops, looks like I forgot some floors.
Told you I am not a designer.

LCE, theres a good tutorial on the Autodesk website, its what I've been learning from (That and the lessons currently on AUGI)

I have a copy of Mastering Revit (or something along those lines) which I keep meaning to look through, but I have never been 1 for tutorials or manuals, I prefer to just pick it up and play.
I am always too impatient to follow tutorials or manuals, or even worse, structured education or training (hence leaving school/education at 16).
Thanks for the info though, I may have a quick peek for 5 minutes until I get impatient again.
