how to draw this roof

[gideon]

please help me to draw the front elevation box window  roof on the left of upper floor of the front elevation.

the best  i could draw now is to draw something like the one in the revit file attached.

please change my revit file if you want.

Hey there.

I`ve attached your file.

I`ve redone the roof with the same tool, roof by perimeter. I only found the correct slope.

According to the sketch, shown below, the roof is different from what is shown in the two previous files posted. The planes of the roof meet at the top at one single point, where there is a ridge, seen on the right elevation.

And, there is one line in the sketch, which I have painted in blue, which I think is a mistake. If the front elevation is as shown, then the right elevation should not have that line.

Anyway, these roofs are difficult to draw with the traditional tools of roof by footprint. Another way to solve this is to create the geometry of the roof with reference points, reference lines, and surfaces (as a family or as a mass in-place, better as a family). And then, use Roof by Face to create the planes of the roof, selecting the faces of the family or mass in place.

It is more a problem of geometry than a problem of Revit.

Below is the front and right elevations, in Revit: 

And this is the process and the final result:

Just curious, what ever happened to this?

Some users post a question and then forget about it. 🙂
