Angled Walls in Revit 2020

DanBuck · ‎10-13-2022

Hi all, I need a hand with angled walls in Revit 2020.

I need to remodel some rooflights, which have tapered apertures. I'm using Revit 2020, so don't have access to the slanted wall function, so it seems my best best is Wall by Face, but it seems awfully clunky to have to model in a mass just to host the wall to.

Surely there must be a better more streamlined way of doing this, a way that will allow for simpler updates in future?

Would I be better off creating a parameteric family of those tapered elements (the vary width as they go down the floorplan)?

I don't understand what rooflights have to do with slanted walls. Can you elaborate?

...is this about making a tapered skylight shaft? Replace the Opening with a tapered Void Extrusion in the Family.

...what about using Roofs or Floors or Ceilings to frame the tapered shaft?

You can use roofs by extrusion in lieu of tapered / slanted walls.
