Revit Set Roof To Reference Plan

I have a situation where a new revit user unknowingly placed an elevation tag callout on the roof level verses the floor level.

Revit set roof to reference plan.

If you choose not to move the roof to a different level revit notifies you later if the. I ve attached an image as to how far i ve got. In this image we are looking down plan view on to the top of an extruded roof i ll show you how to create these later on in the course. As you can see i have my roof outline over a wall outline but no cavity lines in the wall.

If you try to add a roof on the lowest level a dialog prompts you to move it to a higher level. And remove underlay if there is any. Select the desired linetype from the line style type selector. Cut plan keep above roof level.

In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor. Take the above example. I m trying to currently show the cavity wall outline only with my roof outline overlaid as such. Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion.

Do the roof first create a reference plane that is aligned and locked to the roof then set a view that is perpendicular to that reference plane and use that to sketch the beam system. Bottom and view depth just below roof level or roof level itself. This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines. Click architecture tabbuild panelroof drop down roof by footprint.

Revit displays the modify linework contextual ribbon. If i change the cut in the view range to go lower it shows the cavity wall outline but cuts the roof.

Now if the slope of the roof changes the reference plane will folow the slope and the beam system will follow the reference plane. Capture other features modelled below. Of course when they latter opened the floor plan they couldn t find the elevation tag. Go to end view of roof elevation face on to new named ref plane select roof by extrusion the.
