ReMark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just curious as to why you would want the roof to slope towards the two existing walls and not away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Oh, you you did intend on the new roof to slope away from the existing building. Really, it's two shed roofs that intersect right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 See my previous post. I'm not a Revit user. I was just trying to get you to clarify what your design intent was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyi14 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry i didnt see your second reply, thats what im trying to draw though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It was created by lofting two polylines then I used the Thicken command to turn it into a solid. Not that the technique will do you any good as I am sure Revit requires you do it a specific way. Sorry I can't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry i didnt see your second reply, thats what im trying to draw though!When you're editing the Roof Boundary, each line (roof edge) you select, keep an eye on Properties. Turn on/off the Slope as needed. Revit will generate the rest for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 No, just start in Plan View and do it by Footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyi14 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 No, just start in Plan View and do it by Footprint. So i am to draw the outline of the roof, for an example what way should the slopes be set too, i dont know what sides should be turned on an off? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
