Low Slope Roof In Revit

See hd version of video tutorial here.

Low slope roof in revit.

The tail is the low point and the head is the high point. This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow. In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by. The second option in the list is toggle slope defining.

To construct a flat roof you must toggle the slope defining line see step 3. The roof assembly is defined as the roof deck along with the roof membrane and roof insulation. Want a sloped structure or a sloped insulation in your flat roof. Finish the sketch by pressing the green tick and you will not have a completely flat roof surface in your revit model.

The insulation thickness must be at least as thick as the vertical slope else you will receive a warning. Roof assemblies with a pitch slope of less than 3 12 are considered low slope roofs. By default the whole roof will be sloped. To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition.

To create a slope for an odd shaped roof like the one below use slope arrow. For a low slope roof you can change these to inch rise to 12 inch run by clicking the roof outline and replacing the slope dimensions. The roof system is defined as the roof membrane including surfacing and the roof insulation. In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met.

A roof cannot attach to another roof and the roof cannot be a curtain roof. By applying the defines slope property to lines of a roof boundary you can create different roof types including flat roofs gable roofs and hip roofs. Draw the arrow then click it and change the properties to select the right levels and offsets. Low slope roofs are often referred to as flat roofs.

When in the roof by footprint sketch mode select all of your newly created boundaries and turn off the defines slope parameter. 8 set variable material for sloped insulation. Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane. Check variable material in the roof structure to create sloped insulation.

Flat roof in revit this one is very straightforward.
