Revit Roof Shape Editing

Add points manually or create them automatically with split lines.

Revit roof shape editing.

These are available on flat slabs only. Use pick supports to split the roof element at the supporting beams. Floors and roofs that have been shape edited will not report a true thickness. Revit will issue a warning when a slope significantly deviates from the expected thickness.

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. However more significant slopes will increase this variance. This will modify the form of the roof and allow for customized roof shapes. A roof cannot attach to another roof and the roof cannot be a curtain roof.

In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met. Revit structural project 08 roof 0pen web steel joist framing and modify grid duration. First activate add split line and draw the lines like below. Modify the height of points to create the desired slope.

The shape editing tools display on the contextual tab. An alternative way to apply slope to a roof or floor is the shape editing tools. The shape editing tools were designed to allow for moderate slopes and in such cases variances in true thickness are trivial. Use shape editing to add internal drains to the roof built using sloped insulation.

Shape editing tools are used to create flat roof slope. Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane. This also adjusts the position of the roof if the support and the roof are not aligned. On this flat slab you add one or more points and then adjust the z height of those points.

This shape editing tools will not appear if you define the roof slope. You will see shape editing tools from in your ribbon contextual tab. By specifying the elevation of these points you split the surface into sub regions that can slope independently.
