Revit Roof Reference Plane

Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop.

Revit roof reference plane.

Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. Will go with it. To align roof ridges use the align tool. To pick an existing line.

First of all create a reference plane in desired position and if you like lock it to the roof plane this way if you raise the roof the purlins etc. Plane if you don t none of this works. Alternatively they can actually be used to control the formation and position of 3d geometry. Click modify to end the line.

Revit mep can be tricky with so many tools to choose from to get that work in. In the work plane dialog select the reference plane name you just created and click ok. Use the line tool or the pick line tool to draw a reference plane. Hide the reference plane in the view hide a selected reference plane or all reference planes in a view.

Another un cut version of bim building information modeling. In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor. Reference plane properties select a reference plane and view or modify its properties on the properties palette. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level.

Roof profile sketched using spline tool. On the draw panel click pick lines. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset. Used in this way they are acting as simple construction lines.

Move the cursor near the line to which you want to place the reference plane and click. Name reference planes name each reference plane so you can assign it to be the current work plane. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset. Open the 3d view and click architecture tab work plane panel set.

Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop. Now the trick is select and name the ref. Select the lock option to lock the reference plane to the line. In revit reference planes can be used for two main purposes.

Simply they can be used to form a draft outline of where you need to position certain elements. On the options bar specify an offset if desired. Select the reference plane and on the properties palette enter a name for the plane.
