Sloped glazing rooflight.

[KarenLBR]

Hello all.

I'm working in Full Revit 2020, trying to create a long roof light in a curved pitched roof, which is intersected by a second, taller, gable roof (see attached).

Not only am I having difficulty in aligning the section of sloped glazing with the main roof (not helped by the plumb cut eaves and ridge detail allocated to the sloped glazing that I cannot seem to change), but I don't seem to be able to join the sloped glazing to the main roof.

Is this because of the curve, or because you cannot join sloped glazing? If the latter, why not?!

I realise that I could probably make a basic roof with a glazed material to over come this, but then I loose the mullions...

Can you post a cross-section?  I'm having a hard time visualizing the condition.

Do you want to have those pieces?  Instead of using Roof Join tool, you may want to draw the footprints of the curved roofs to match the intersection lines with the main roof.

Many thanks @ToanDN - yes I would like the sections you highlighted to be glazed (and ideally joined to the adjacent roof). I shall try drawing the footprint to suit, and see what happens. I'm not sure how to get the slope to the joined edge, but I'll give it a go.

@barthbradley I've attached a section and a closer view of the intended junction - the section is as close to perpendicular to the roof as I can get it given the curve.

Quick update...

It appears that I cannot draw the join line within the roof footprint - or more specifically, I cannot trim/ extend the valley line to meet the upper glazed roof edge. I can't even get the valley line to joint with a 'spare' edge line that I have added for working purposes...

I can therefore only assume that a curved pitched glass roof cannot join with a neighbouring pitched roof, and will review the design.

My two cents worth:

I wouldn't put glazing above the over-framed portion.  Are you actually going to be able to see those glazing panels from the corridor?  Seems to me that that over-framed portion with the glazing would be walled off from view. That is, the door wall shown in your section would extend all the way up to meet the underside of the roof with the glazing panels.
