Roof Slope

[Anonymous]

Hello, it has been a while since I last used Revit, but I am having trouble aligning my roof, with my sloped wall. How can I do it? 

Thank you! I am trying to have the roof follow the sloped wall.

Use shape editing tools (e.g. Modify Sub Elements) or use a Slope Arrow or just define slope for one edge. You know you can use a negative rise as well.

If you know the pitch (slope) of the roof, it's easier to create the roof at the right angle and then just use the "Attach Top/Base)" function to get the wall to attach to the underside of the roof- automatically forming the sloped top to the wall.

Interesting. I thought the question was how to align a roof to meet an existing wall plate condition, not the other way around.  I guess I took the words/picture too literally.

Thank you bimscape for the suggestions. It was easier to define the slope of the roof, then attach the wall to it.

Thank you for the reply, so I tried to do the slope arrow but I couldn't get the exact degree of the of the slope. It was almost close, but I was not sure how to get the exact degree as the one for the wall. And I didn't know how to use a defined slope for just one edge.

Actually, that's what I was asking, but It the roof slope was flexible so I just changed it. Thank you very much!

Use your Spot Slope tool in Elevation to find that wall slope information. Easy breezy. No math needed.
