Low Slope Roof In Revit

Roof assemblies with a pitch slope of less than 3 12 are considered low slope roofs.

Low slope roof in revit.

Select the lines of the roof outline and right click over the line. In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met. Check variable material in the roof structure to create sloped insulation. Flat roof in revit this one is very straightforward.

In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by. 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. Finish the sketch by pressing the green tick and you will not have a completely flat roof surface in your revit model.

Revit will issue a warning when a slope significantly deviates from the expected thickness. A roof cannot attach to another roof and the roof cannot be a curtain roof. 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.

To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition. On the properties palette select or clear defines roof slope. To create a slope for an odd shaped roof like the one below use slope arrow. By default the whole roof will be sloped.

The insulation thickness must be at least as thick as the vertical slope else you will receive a warning. 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. The tail is the low point and the head is the high point. When in the roof by footprint sketch mode select all of your newly created boundaries and turn off the defines slope parameter.

Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane. 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. See hd version of video tutorial here. This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow.
