Change Angle of Roofline - Not pitch

[sopheyannhumphries]

Hi All,

Working on a project for a builder where they have described a very specific roofline they are wanting.

Currently in my model the roof angles towards the back of the house (as seen in the screenshots) but the builder wants the roof to be level and the walls at the rear to extend up to meet the roof.

I understand what has to happen and what the intended look is to be, but I am still relatively new to revit (long time CAD user) and have no idea how to approach this from the modelling perspective. 

I would appreciate any and all help that can be given. This is not the hill (project) I wish to die on! (Builder is hard to please and I don't want him to think he has beat me)

Many thanks!!

You can create it as normal rectangular roof then use a vertical cut opening to cut the angle,  or create a flat roof and edit supplement.

Do you have a sketch roof plan of the intent?.

I haven't used vertical cuts before, I assume there would be some youtube to help me with that.

Nope, no picture - typical builder, seen it somewhere so it must be able to be done. For all I know the house was a completely different layout

Thanks 🙂

Sure there should be. But the tool is as simple as it gets. Open your roof plan, click the vertical cut opening, pick the roof, draw the boundary to be cut away, finish.

It worked!! SO many thank-yous!!

It looks like how it was described to me and everything!

I really appreciate your response, transition over from CAD thinking to model thinking hasn't been smooth and I have learned something new.

Thank-you!!

Isn't this what it is supposed to look like?

oops. I didn't notice all the screenshots in your first post. I see now what you're doing.

Are you going to put clerestories in those wall above the roofs? I can see that. 😉
