This parameter is only enabled for extruded roofs. The default is the highest level in the project. For example, if you pick the outer edge of the wall during creation of the extrusion, the end point ends the extrusion at some point out from the outer edge of the wall. For example, if you pick the outer edge of the wall during creation of the extrusion, the start point starts the extrusion to some point traveling out from the outer edge of the wall. Height of the cutoff above or below the level specified in Up to Level. Roofs cut in this manner can be combined with another roof to form Dutch Hip, Mansard, or other roof styles. Specifies a level above which all footprint roof geometry will be not shown. This property is enabled only when creating a roof by footprint. Sets the height of the roof above or below the level where it is being sketched.

After you draw the roof, you can select it and then modify this property. This property is read-only before creating a roof. If not selected, it means the roof is not part of a room boundary. If selected, it means the roof is part of a room boundary. Sets the level for the footprint or extruded roof. Overall, a really useful tool and shows that Revit is moving in the right direction towards the world of fabrication and the associated details.The work plane with which an extruded roof is associated.
#Model roof rafter revit update#
The tests that I did worked fine and when you update the roof the module uses the edit families rather than load the defaults back in. The module seems to be configured for timber roofs but I did edit a few of the framing families to light gauge steel sections to see if these would work. I was pleasantly surprised that this worked very well, seems to be very stable as long as all the faces on the roof are flat. I did test it on a crazy and complex roof that I had modeled by picking mass faces. This extension can handle most types of roof but the geometry must be planar, i.e. Click OK and your basic roof will now be complete! Here you can choose the style of truss, number of required elements and each section size again you can also choose to omit any sections that are not relevant. You can then move on to the trusses themselves. In this example I am using the Rafter framing tool on a very simple gable end roof. Once the module starts up you will see that you can set the wall plates, each member can be configured and you may choose exactly which elements to generate. You then select the roof and choose the extension ribbon, in the modelling pull down you will see the two new modules, Rafter Framing and Roof Trusses. I will outline a brief workflow and then talk about some of the limitations and good things that I noted whilst testing the extensions.Īs I previously stated, you will first need to model a roof using either the Roof by footprint or roof by extrusion. If the original roof geometry changes then you select one of the timbers and select modify on the Extensions ribbon, this will force the roof to rebuild. The extension will create the 3D timbers and trusses for a number of different roof configurations from simple dialog boxes with intelligent previews. Both of the tools require the creation of a Revit roof object and the framing and trusses are hosted on this object. The tools, once installed, will appear on the extensions ribbon and have two modules, one for rafter framing and another for roof trusses. Autodesk have recently launched a new roof timber framing extension for subscription customers following on from a similar tool for framing wall panels.
