Revit roof profile. When you are happy with your profile sketch go ahead and hit the green cross. Best way to approach a gambrel style roof in revit is by using the roof by extrusion tool. As before select roof by extrusion pick your plane and assign your reference level. Load the profile we created before.

We have implemented some advanced loadable families to easily model a roof in revit in detail. I say again do not create a closed loop revit will not accept it for this type of sketch. After creating a roof you can change its shape or overhang cut openings or align ridges. Now that you have created your revit structural decking floor type you are ready to create your floor.

To begin creating your fascia in revit navigate to the architecture tab roof dropdown fascia. You can load it by accessing revit menu open family. Now open your training file. Draw one half of your gambrel roof profile working from the roof midpoint ridgeline out towards the eaves.

You can now select the roof edges that will host your fascia board in sequence around your roof. In the above image the profile you see 2 is the complete profile for this roof. Now that the fascia profile has been loaded we can place the fascia board geometry to our roof eaves. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop.

This will instruct revit to proceed and create the 3d geometry for your roof form. A classic roof profile that suites most applications. Edit the roof sketch select the roof and click modify roofs tab mode panel edit footprint or edit profile. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level.

Roof profile sketched using spline tool. Give a relevant name such as roof slab edge profile. Creating your floor and cantilevers. Once your structural deck profile is loaded in modify the top layer to be concrete and enter the thickness of your slab the full slab depth including the decking not just the topping.
