Hi
Can anyone advise me on how to create a corrugated roofing profile in revit? I dont just want a surface pattern, I want the actual profile to be shown in 3D.
I've modelled the roof by extrusion and have made it 15mm to represent the metal decking however just need to know how to apply the correct profile to this somehow.
Thanks!

create the profile as a profile family
nest into a curtain panel family
use profile to create custom curtain panel
load custom curtain panel into project
create a curtain wall using custom curtain panel
use curtain wall by face command to create custom roof

sorry im extremely new to revit.
how do you create a profile family? and can you expand on the other steps?
or is there a family which is already made that you could post?
Thanks!
please see the screencast attached.
FYI...since you are new to Revit....
go to screencast.autodesk.com
search for dzanta

Thankyou so much!!
I found this online which was already built as a family but it says its a sweep. When i place it in my project it comes out perfectly but it wont let me adjust the width, I can only change the length. Do you know how to change the parameters for sweeps or make it so that I can alter the width?
open the family in revit
select the family and edit the family
select the profile...it will give you the name of the profile family that is being used.
go to the Project Browser and find it under Families folder
right click and edit that family
adjust the shape as desired.
save it
load it back into the revit project
overwrite the existing one
update the original family

if you are trying to increase the number of corrogations (make it look wider), then just add more linework to your base profile. If you are trying to make the corrogated panel longer, then change the length of the sweep path.

How do I add this to an existing roof? I've created a custom roof that i like but i want to have corrugated object to lay on top of it?
Using REVIT 2016
Thank you!
Hi Dzan Ta,
I have question about this method.
When I use the corrugated metal panel as metal wall cladding, there're gable part of the roof that need to be covered.
I cannot attached this curtain wall to the roof or edit its profile.
Do you have a way to cover this gable part of the roof?
Thank's in advance.

first of all thanks for your efforts. I only have one feedback, try to have a better microphone because the sound quality is so bad. Thanks once again
