Revit Roof Shape Editing

On this flat slab you add one or more points and then adjust the z height of those points.

Revit roof shape editing. Add points manually or create them automatically with split lines. The shape editing tools were designed to allow for moderate slopes and in such cases variances in true thickness are trivial. This shape editing tools will not appear if you define the roof slope. Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane.

This will modify the form of the roof and allow for customized roof shapes. In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met. First activate add split line and draw the lines like below. Use pick supports to split the roof element at the supporting beams.

Modify the height of points to create the desired slope. Revit structural project 08 roof 0pen web steel joist framing and modify grid duration. Revit structure you can use shape editing tools to manipulate the surface of a flat non sloped floor or roof by defining high and low points for drainage. You will see shape editing tools from in your ribbon contextual tab.

These are available on flat slabs only. Floors and roofs that have been shape edited will not report a true thickness. This also adjusts the position of the roof if the support and the roof are not aligned. By specifying the elevation of these points you split the surface into sub regions that can slope independently.

A roof cannot attach to another roof and the roof cannot be a curtain roof. Shape editing tools are used to create flat roof slope. First select the roof. After you finish creating the roof select it.

In the example below we add a bunch of points and change their relative height with modify sub elements tool. However more significant slopes will increase this variance. An alternative way to apply slope to a roof or floor is the shape editing tools.
