Revit Join Two Gable Roof At Different Height

To create a dormer model required walls and additional roof.

Revit join two gable roof at different height. Then draw the arrow to define the slope direction. To keep the ridge line centered on the structure and have 2 eaves at different heights with identical overhangs you would have to have 2 different roof slopes. The only work around i was able to come up with was draw two different roofs but i m wondering if there s anything i m just missing in the roof edit properties. The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs.

9 join roofs add opening to create dormer. When using a newer software release you may notice. The second works for all roof types. Define a sloped edge to a sketch line.

Use join unjoin roof tool. This tool is located in the modify tab. Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown. Sloped edges on a roof sketch line create a sloped roof.

Thx the only way to have an off centered peak with the same slope on both sides is to have one eave higher than the other. There are 2 ways to extend the roof parallel to a ridge. The roof with the lower eave height would require a roof slope pitch greater that the roof with the higher eave height. Use it to extend the dormer roof to the main roof.

Use a slope arrow to define the slope. You can use height or slope value specify the method and the constraint values from properties palette. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.
