Sloped wall as room boundary

For a small in-house tutorial I just modelled a wall with a slope. According to an old entry in this forum, I did that making an in-place component of the category wall. Inside the component editor I entered a sweep with my slope sketched into the profile. I made sure the new 'wall' was tagged as room boundary and removed the former standard wall. The room behind the old did not adopt to the new wall but simply cannot find its boundaries anymore. What am I to do?

I'm afraid that is not quite what I meant. The room's boundary in your image is not sloped. How did you tilt the wall in your example?

I would have thought sloped boundaries were quite normal in Revit given the shapes of the building in the splash screen:

The tut is a rendition of the old 'draw a house with a single line doodle'.

Best way to place a Room in that situations is to create the Room from above with a negative base offset.  You may need to use Room Separation lines to create a boundary on the originating Level.

One more thing: When I tried the sloped wall in R2017 it did not work as a room boundary, using R2020 it was accepted perfectly well. The work-around given by barthbradley is still necessary to get sloped rooms.

Hi,

@MiWolff you can tilt the wall using wall by mass or draw as wall component as you did in your file. @barthbradley regarding the room volume still found some weakness to get actual room volume. Check the attached images.

 

Anybody have idea about any Revit plugin, who gives us correct volume and form of a non-symmetric room.

Thanks,
