Custom Fascia Profile Issues

So I created a custom roof drip edge, applied as fascia - thx to @ToanDN for the initial screencast on how to do this. You can find it here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/custom-fascia-profiles/m-p/6794027/highlight...

 

I have a couple of issues:

 

  1. The fascia is applied to a roof that has a slight slope. It applies fine on 3 sides but on the backside (low side of the slope) it is applied flat in line with the roof plane rather than applied to the fascia side and I cannot seem to edit it. Any ideas why this is happening and how I can work around it? Tried to make it editable and rotate it with no luck.

  2. Is there a way to get a clean joint at the corners for a profile like this? I tried the "join" function but that does not get a good result.

You should able to create one continuous fascia by picking the 4 edges.  Do that and it should answer both of your questions.

OK. I got that figured out now but have another related problem, so I'll continue this post...

 

This small sauna building has metal cladding, so I have added a fascia board on top of the siding so the custom drip edge can be applied to a solid underlayment. The fascia is a closed loop. I now try to add the Drip edge to the fascia and have a similar issue. I can apply it as another "fascia" with the custom profile but now again (even when selecting continue fascia,) I get the corner connection issues again. My other issue is that I need to create a second roof for my TPO layer but for some reason I can't do a roof by footprint or a roof by face, only a roof by extrusion which makes me pick a level and create a roof as shown below. I can't seem to modify that. What is the correct way to apply a "second" roof to a sloped roof?

I forgot to mention that I never really figured out how to select all four edges, I used the "continue fascia" command. I watched your video again sveral times and it appreared you used the TAB button to select all edges, but that does not work for me.

Now I see a fascia with a custom profile can't quite miter nicely.  You may want to use a model in place sweep.  Since the sweep path is not flat you need a small trick to keep the sweep from twisted when it turns.  I cannot do it now since I am re-installing Revit to my laptop at the moment but I can show you sometime tomorrow.

 

Regarding the thin roof atop, I don't understand why you can't draw it by boundary?  Or, simply copy paste the main roof in place, move the copy a but up, change the roof type, and edit and offset the boundary to size.

@Anonymous hello, here is the screencast, you can modify the sweep profile for your design of fascia. thanks

Try it with a sloped roof.

@ToanDN hello, here the screencast. is this you wanted it to be with slanted roof? thanks

@ToanDN hello, It will not work on a slope roof following the sloped. thanks  Smiley (traurig)Smiley (zwinkernd)Smiley (Zunge)Smiley (zwinkernd)

Yes. Do you see the profile got deformed? Cut 2 sections thru the roof you can see more clear.

So the weird thing is that the T-drip joins fine if there's no fascia board underneath it. As soon as I place the fascia board first, the T-drip will not join in the corners.

@ToanDN - your suggestion of copying the original roof and then changing it worked - thx for that. Did not think of that workaround. The create roof by footprint for some reason does not work. I'm gonna try a few other things on the fascia issue. Let me know if you guys come up with something.

 

@ennujozlagam Thx for the screencasts.

I would suggest draw the fascia board as a model in place sweep.  The reasons are (1) the profile is simple rectangle so if it is deformed it is not noticeable, (2) it is behind the T-drip so some imperfection shouldn't be an issue, (3) you can even create 4 separate sweeps for the 4 edges and that guarantee no deform occurs.  

(If it was me I wouldn't even bother model these invisible boards)

 

Then model the T-drip using fascia tool and pick 4 edges the corners will join nicely.

So I ended up not modeling the fascia board, just pulling the roof surface out flush with the metal panels and then attaching the T-Drip to that. This worked fine and got the job done. Out of curiosity, I tried to follow your advice and modeled the fascia board as a sweep and then tried to attach the T-Drip to that. For some reason it will not let me attach to the outside edge of the sweep profile. Could it be that a fascia can only attach to a roof or another fascia and not to custom sweep profile? Screencast below...

Your assumption is correct. Fascia can only host by roofs and subcategories of roofs. What I meant was you using the edges of the main roof to host the t drip, but offset the profile 1" out.

Ahhh - got it. That works beautifully. Thx again @ToanDN.

Btw - for anyone else following this... the fascia offset has to be set in properties. Cannot be done with offset command. See screenshots below.
