Revit Offset From Roof Base

Example 1 a roof by footprint with equal slopes of 30 degrees.

Revit offset from roof base.

If the eves are at the same height the overhang is the same and the slope is the same the ridge line will appear in the middle of the roof. This parameter is enabled when a line is set as slope defining and it is not associated with a wall. To fix your roof select the edge of the roof that is lower in the sketch of the roof. I m going to leave mine as it is.

We used the formula. If you choose truss the plate offset from base is measured from the outside of the wall. Specifies the offset of the slope line from the base of the roof. Select the wall and use the attach top base button to attach it to the underside of only the 5 1 2 roof.

Room 2 has a base offset of 1000. To see the effects of this property more clearly set a value for plate offset from base other than 0. It is a matter of geometry. It s a good idea to do it from your elevation views for accuracy.

For example in the following section view. Room 1 has a base offset of 0. It will join in the wrong order and you will need to use the drop down menu next to join to switch the join order. Then from the modify tab on your ribbon use the join geometry command and select the 7 1 2 roof and the wall.

If you want to adjust the height position of your roof then select the roof and in the properties panel you can change the base offset from level to do that. Extend into wall to core specifies the overhang dimension from the roof edge to the exterior core wall. See roof boundary line properties. The lower boundary of the room starts at level 1.

When you are sketching the roof revit assumes all lines of the sketch are at the same height. If you choose rafter the plate offset from base is measured from the inside of the wall. Offset from roof base. To move the lower boundary above the base level enter a positive number.
