Join Roof not working

[nathanyiel]

hi everyone. i have created roof by extrusion as shown on the attached file/image. i have tried using roof join but no luck at all. it didn't work. is there any way i can join the roofs to create corners? it would have been easy if there is a command like SWEEP in AutoCAD.

thanks everyone.

Hi @nathanyiel

First of all of course there is a sweep in revit! The reson that you can't do join is because your roof dont intersect each other. i suggest you either extend your roofs so ther will be alignd and then use the join commen or you delete all and do it using sweep (recommended).

Good luck

Revit has sweep via in place modeling. But that roof can be created with roof by footprint.

thanks @zemeraloni. i will try it now and i will come back to you for the result. thanks again.

hi @ToanDN. i also tried roof by footprint but i can't create the roof that i have sent.

What you are describing is a mitering operation. Revit isn't capable of doing that. One solution would be to just sketch a section of roof at those corners and join the geometry when done. Or, you could redefine all three roofs into one monolithic roof with those two corners included.

@ToanDN so right.. shame on me fot not suggesting that

hi @zemeraloni. seems like SWEEP can be accessed only when inside the family editor, or the like. if i select the roof, i can only edit the profile. thanks
