Roof area

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I made a simple roof of 5.4m by 5.4m with a slope of 30 degrees.

If i make a schedule ill get an area of 34m2.

But how does Revit calculate this area?

Greetings Igor

5.4m * 5.4m is the projection of the roof

1. SLOP/ANGLE is 30 degrees
2. Area = Hypotenuse * 5.4m

Hypotenuse = Adjacent / cos30  = 5.4m / 0.866 = 6.236m

=> Area = 3.236 * 5.4 = 33.7m2

(WITH ROUNDING = 34M2)

Hello, I have created a website where you can have this calculatios done automatically.

In your case it would be a shed roof

That doesn't sound smart at all and very 2nd millennium BC. Wheres the I in my BIM? 

Isn't there any way to schedule the roofing area? Would be handy for more complex roof shapes....
