Ridges using fascia tool. How to clean up.

[stuart]

Hi All,

I am using REVIT LT and while I am sure in place mass modelling could sort this in FULL revit.

I am wondering if anyone has managed to clean up the ridges when using the fascia tool? Is there another way to achieve my goal?

See the attached images. 

Thanks

Does LT have Beams?  

...are you using fascia tool for valley flashing. Kind of looks that way in your second screenshot. The fascia in the first screenshot should be easily corrected though.  That's done using Fascia tool; right?

Hi,

It does have beams.

These are hipped roofs. 

Normally it would clean up, but because there are two different angles at play 15 deg and 37.5 deg it's creating this ugly issue.

Can you share the file please?

Hi There,

Model attached.

Here's my solution:

In-Place Modeled Void cuts clone Roof Type.

For a cleaner, create another thin roof with the exact footprint (copy), then use vertical opening cut to cut to the ridge footprint.

That's pretty much what I did above.

Thanks for this.

Thanks for this way. I can do that with REVIT LT.
