Joining Slanted wall on parapet

Am creating a slanted parapet on the roof through the use of an in-place mass (the top of the parapet needs to be flat), however using the wall by face option does not give me a clean result (and it seems I have no control over how the top of the parapet comes out).  How can I create a consistent clean parapet that has a continuous flat top surface?  Thanks, Revit file attached with an image explanation.

Not applicable

You could use standard roofs and make three different roofs.Roof.JPG

@Anonymous Thank you for your quick reply, that is what I would have thought, just that with creating faces on an "in place mass" seems to always results in some geometry mess.  Even something like sketchup can create a cleaner result.

Workflow and Elements used to model walls/roofs in Sketchup is not comparable to the walls/roofs in Revit.

  • When you create a wall or a floor in Sketchup you would be extruding elements  to give them thickness
  • When you create a wall/roof by face in Revit, you are placing system families/elements with distinctive properties

 

If you want to have the same in Revit as in Sketchup, then you shouldn't use the wall and/or roof tools … Simply USE MODEL EXTRUSIONS
