Roof Slope Arrow Revit

For creating complex roof it might be easier if you create separate roof then use join roof tool to join them later.

Roof slope arrow revit.

Using shape editing tools. This is the easiest way to do it. Use slope arrows to define slopes on a roof such as a 4 sided gable roof. This is fine if we know what angle we want the roof slope to be at.

The slope arrow must start on an existing sketch line. But what if we want to create a roof based on absolute heights. Note that only flat roofs are supported by this tool. The roof by footprint tool can be used to detect a chain of external walls and create a pitched roof based on their boundary.

Click once to specify its start point tail. The default method of creating a sloped roof within revit architecture is to make one or more of the roof boundary lines slope defining. Then draw the arrow to define the slope direction. Multiple roof slope arrows can be added to a roof and connected to each other.

This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow. You can use height or slope value specify the method and the constraint values from properties palette. Click again to specify its endpoint head. The following example shows a roof that you can create in revit lt using a slope arrow.

Draw the arrow then click it and change the properties to select the right levels and offsets. Make sure define slope is inactive and that the arrow lies on the boundaries. Draw the slope arrow in the drawing area. The tail is the low point and the head is the high point.

You can use slope arrows to create slopes on a roof. For more examples and tips see about slope arrows. Roof slope arrow is a tool that allows you to modify slopes on roof elements by defining start elevation and slope or end elevation.
