Revit Roof Reference Plane

Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.

Revit roof reference plane.

Another un cut version of bim building information modeling. Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset. Hide the reference plane in the view hide a selected reference plane or all reference planes in a view. On the draw panel click pick lines.

Used in this way they are acting as simple construction lines. Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. Use the line tool or the pick line tool to draw a reference plane. Open the 3d view and click architecture tab work plane panel set.

In the drawing area draw the reference planes by dragging the cursor. Move the cursor near the line to which you want to place the reference plane and click. To align roof ridges use the align tool. On the options bar specify an offset if desired.

Detailed review of reference planes beam and roof systems. To raise or lower the roof from the reference level specify a value for offset. Revit mep can be tricky with so many tools to choose from to get that work in. Alternatively they can actually be used to control the formation and position of 3d geometry.

Reference plane properties select a reference plane and view or modify its properties on the properties palette. To pick an existing line. Click modify to end the line. Click finish edit mode and then open a 3d view.

First of all create a reference plane in desired position and if you like lock it to the roof plane this way if you raise the roof the purlins etc. Name reference planes name each reference plane so you can assign it to be the current work plane. In revit reference planes can be used for two main purposes. Plane if you don t none of this works.

Using the reference plane you can control the position of the extruded roof in relation to a level. Will go with it. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop. Now the trick is select and name the ref.

In the work plane dialog select the reference plane name you just created and click ok. Select the reference plane and on the properties palette enter a name for the plane. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop.
