Revit 2018 Trim Roof With Plane

Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion.

Revit 2018 trim roof with plane.

Click modify tab geometry panel cut drop down cut geometry. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. Trim extend to corner trims or extend one or more elements to form a corner. Create a reference plane in the plane of the wall where you want the cut to occur.

This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop. 1 create another named ref plane in plan view so as to draw the roof profile roughly at end of roof image 1 2. I have actually selected the left hand reference plane you can see that i have also named it roof start.

Reference plane creates a reference plane using drawing tools. This video goes over the steps to clean up two different roof elements. To raise or lower the roof from the reference level specify a value for offset. The bad thing about extruded roofs is the fact you can t follow along with the footprint of your building the good thing is we can do something about that the objective of this video is to go to the plan view we will then create a void where our walls jag in and out this is going to allow revit to cut the roof properly in plan to get started jump into your revit roofs.

In this tutorial i show you how to model a roof garden or a green roof in revit. Naming reference planes makes it easier to track their. That is the vertical reference planes on the left and right hand side of the image. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.

Select the reference plane. Split face divides the face of an element into regions for application of different materials. Select the beam to be cut. If you move the wall or the beam the cut will persist at the wall unless the beam is no longer joined with the wall.
