Short question - how do I get the standing seam roof hatch to follow the slope of my roof components for plan view?
More descriptive - I am trying to show the ribs of the standing seam metal roof by assigning the Material "Roofing - Metal Standing Seam" to the structure of the roof finish component so the hatch pattern shows up for my roof plan and exterior elevations. I have applied the Surface Pattern "Standing Seam" (which is a Drafting Pattern Type), and tried to modify it's setting to "Align with element", but the plan view always just shows the hatch vertical no matter which way the roof slopes. I have some typical hip and valley roofs as well as simple gables. Anybody know the solution?
First, you need to apply a model pattern to the roofs. When this is done, it should "automatically" follow the slope of the roof, turning itself as it does.
If you got this to work would you be willing to share the style. I'm pulling my hair out here because all the out of the box roof styles are for shingles.
Firstly I'd make your pattern Model rather than Drafting and set the spacing to be what you expect for your standing seams.
To adjust the orientation of the hatch all you need to do is Tab Select one of the pattern lines and then rotate it. You can also use the align tool to align the hatch to an edge (particularly useful with brick patterns) - see screencast below.

Hi all, the best way to do this is by copying the roof on top of the original and change it to a sloped glazing roof with the profile and dimensions of the panel as the metal sheet and give a aluminum or other color material. See the attached image of our project with this type of roof.

Uh, no it's not, unless your only interest in Revit is how it renders.

Hi Keith, this is not only for rendering, when you make a sloped glazing roof in 3D it is seen in all the views and you don't have to worry about the hatch nor in any other view including roof plan and elevations or sections, it appears as it is in 3D. See the roof plan of that house in the image.
You get exactly the same effect if you apply a surface pattern to the finish material of your roof build up, you'll see this in plan , section, elevation and 3D
Just follow the steps in the screencast above, your life will be much easier.
