Roof with Bevel edges and two axis slope

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to create this roof shape in Revit ? If so could someone indicate procedure briefly. Thanks

Yes...you would need to use an in place family. You would first create an extrusion in the shape of your "Plan View". Then you would create a void extrusion to cut the top of your roof to the desired slope...it is actually a single slope...it is just your coordinate system that makes it look like it is a 2-axis slope. Use the "Cut Geometry" tool to make the void cut the solid. Finally, create a void sweep along the edge of the surface...If I get time I will post an example in the gallery...

Everything is fine until I try to create a void sweep along the edge of the surface. I get the following error message. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you leave out ellips or splines? [trace contour?] Your plan looks like circle/arc-segments + straight lines...

I got the same error when I tried it...I played around with using an n-gon edge, but to no avail.. :( "v.valentijn" wrote in message news:40eab395$1_1@newsprd01... > Can't you leave out ellips or splines?

I thought I'd mess around with this question a bit. Attached is where I quit for now. The real problem is the "fillet" between the cap and the sides isn't just one size arc. The same radius yes, but not the same length arc and it's easy to sweep a path along a path set at an angle but you can't tell part of the sweep to stay "vertical"

Try using model lines to sketch the path for your "shape cutting" voids instead of what you were doing. Also if you set a referernce plane (and name it) at and angle, make sure you change your work plane to use that ref plane, then sketch your path.

My example is pretty wacky and not what you really want but it was fun to experiment. I'm sure some combination would give you a pretty close approximation. Most likely It would be easier to do outside Revit (Inventor or Autocad) and import the solids into a roof family to get the exact design.
