Floors and roof

5. The roof must be arched before sketching
the line and a reference level must be drawn
to have a snap point.

Click on Ref Plane in Context Ribbon and
draw a line 300 mm over Level ”Tag B"

6. Now draw with Arc tool Start-End Radius
shape to the right and exit the sketch.

The drawn line represents the top and Revit
will add roof thickness acc. to the selected
roof type in Properties.

Note that a sketch must be a continuous line
that however good can consist of several
segments, and not a closed shape as in
previous tasks.

7. When the sketch is finished Revit will extrude the roof throughout the building's depth.

The length of the roof can be adjusted in both plans, elevations and 3D. This is done by
selecting the roof and if you pull in the blue arrows. Also, you can use Align tool if you
know exact length which you can define in Properties.

Customize the roof so it aligns with the exterior surface of the exterior wall along
grid lines 5. Than, create a corresponding from from grid line 9 to 10. This is done most
easily by making a copy of it and use of Align tool.

8. Note that the top of the roof, drawn with Roof by Footprint, is built upward relative to the
Level, while the second roof, drawn with Roof by Extrusion, is built downwards
compared to sketch line.

In order to create a uniform solution, selected the top of the roof and in Properties set
Base Offset From the Level to-400.
