Gutters and downpipes in Revit LT

Hey,

 

Relatively new to Revit. Using Revit LT 2023.

How can I make gutters and downpipes in Revit LT without those full version tools?

Seen some stuff about wall sweeps and some other suggestions, but if I have an overhang and at the overhang downpipe has two turns and then near the ground there is another turn. So wall sweeps does not seem to be an option for that. I guess I can make a specific family for that, but is there anything in LT version that suits better for downpipes?

 

And one additional question about roofs. If I make a roof structure which whole thickness is for example 400 mm (rafters+battens+finishes etc). But I want eaves not to be as thick as the main roof. So roof thickness 400 mm inside rooms and eaves would be lets say 200 mm. So that not the whole thick roof structure sticks over the exterior walls.

Can I do this in Revit LT?

A gutter is a sweep.  Load the profile from the "English-Imperial->Profile->Roofs" directory.

To create one, use the pull down under roof then select gutter.  Then edit the type to load and select a different gutter profile if you'd like.

 

My downspouts are families. There are none provided that I am aware of.

However, there is a rectangular profile under the "Profile" folder if you wanted to use that.  You can create model in place components using a sweep for each downspout.

 

Hope that helps.

Yes all of what you described can be done in LT.  Gutters should be included as a system tool under Roof. Create a family for downspout. Create two roofs with different thickness for the roof/eave configuration.

Hey,

 

If I use your suggestion of creating two roofs with different thickness.

Can I somehow hide these separation lines?

They appear in elevations also and look weird. It seems that I cannot join two different roofs.

You can join roofs.  so something else is going wrong here, try these things:

1) check that they are at the same elevation (cut a section through it and move if necessary)

2) check the materials are the same.  non-matching materials merged will leave a line.

3) if all else fails, you can use the linework tool and change that line to invisible. (last resort)

Would you be able to take a look at my Revit file and see if anything can be done about joining these roofs?
Some of the layers in these roofs are different, because I want to get different thicknesses of these roofs. Interior side is insulated and needs to be thicker. I would like it to be thicker in the model also. So I can see correct heights for headroom, doors and so on. It seems that roofs are aligned, but they wont join.
Also there is some kind of a weird line on the west elevation that might not even be a roof line. But I will need to clean up all those lines one way or another. But for future purposes would be great to understand how can I join these roofs.

Hey There,  I took a look at the model.  It looks to me like the problem is the rafter cut of the main roof.  If you select "Plumb Cut" that line goes away.  If you select "Two Cut Plumb" It also goes away.  However with "Two Cut Square" it causes a weird connection of the materials which leaves the line visible.


It appears that Plumb Cut should work for you.

Hey,

Idk it does not really work for me the same way. Changing the rafter cut on main roof still leaves me with white lines at two roofs connection point. Additionally if I use plumb cuts then this white line is not selectable with linework tool. If I use square cut then it becomes selectable with linework, but then it breaks my added dormer roof connection and I don't seem to be able to fix that connection now.
Thanks for the help anyway. I will try to get by somehow and finish this project.
