Revit Roof Drains and Tapered Insulation

I am trying to install overflow drains into the slope of a tapered roof, but because its built up with insulation, the drain attaches below the insulation to where the host roof would be. I've tried to edit the family but haven't had any luck. Anyone else run into the same problem?

Before you place them go into the architecture tab in a 3D view, and press set workplane, choose select a plane, then select the top surface of the slopped insulation. Once workplane is set, try to place them and maybe that will work!

It still wants to host itself to the roof since the surface is part of that roof.  I think its just how the family is made to always attach to that

Doesn't sound like it is a hosted family.  If not, uncheck "Always Vertical" and check "Work Plane-Based" in the family. Then place on the face of the roof surface in the Project.

I can uncheck always vertical but I don't see the other property

Because it's a roof hosted family.  What is your roof build-up?  It's not a roof obviously.

That looks roof hosted, is the slopped insulation an actual roof?

 

edit- I just slapped one on a slopped roof, worked fine.

If it's not a roof, then the roof-hosted catch/grate won't mount to the surface of the build-up.  You could check "Share" and nest the Roof-Based family into a Face-Based family and put the Face-Based family on the surface of the build-up.  Or, you could convert the Roof-Based Family to a Face-Based Family. This takes some explaining. You interested?

It may have something to do with the variable insulation? I have sloped roofs and they work there, but when I slope the insulation the roof goes right through the drain. What do you think? I attached my roof and its properties

Out of curiosity, are these intermediate catches placed on a slope effective? Governed by code?  Seems odd to me.

This worked best! It needed to be face hosted. Thanks all!

They're just for overflow, the main drains are on 0 slope
