Placing joist

Hi
Trying to place joist. If I use the refernce of the short beam joist will
not follow slope of the long beam. See attached jpeg. Was trying to create a
sloped roof so That joist would follow roof. Did not have any sucess. I have
been doing 3D modeling since the late 1990's with Acad, ADT and several
other modeling programs. I just can't seem to get a grasp on Revit.

Thanks

It's a blended surface and the joists would need to be placed on reference
planes for each location.
Every joist location is different. You might need to cut sections at each
location and create reference planes to set the joists with.
The thing is how well will the joist sit on the sloping beams. The joists
might need to be raised to clear the beam flanges and special seat clips may
be neccessary. This all depends on how much of a slope. You could also
create a structure family of this condition where you have more options to
construct with line reference lines.

PS: How did you do with the blended roof?

When you've created the reference plans, NAME each one. Then when you switch back to the framing plan, you make that named reference plane active. Now place your joist. Repeat for each necessary reference plane.
