Flat roof in revit this one is very straightforward.
Low slope roof in revit.
The roof system is defined as the roof membrane including surfacing and the roof insulation.
By default the whole roof will be sloped.
To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition.
To construct a flat roof you must toggle the slope defining line see step 3.
Check variable material in the roof structure to create sloped insulation.
The tail is the low point and the head is the high point.
See hd version of video tutorial here.
Select the lines of the roof outline and right click over the line.
The insulation thickness must be at least as thick as the vertical slope else you will receive a warning.
In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met.
Finish the sketch by pressing the green tick and you will not have a completely flat roof surface in your revit model.
By applying the defines slope property to lines of a roof boundary you can create different roof types including flat roofs gable roofs and hip roofs.
Roof assemblies with a pitch slope of less than 3 12 are considered low slope roofs.
To create a slope for an odd shaped roof like the one below use slope arrow.
When in the roof by footprint sketch mode select all of your newly created boundaries and turn off the defines slope parameter.
Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane.
The second option in the list is toggle slope defining.
A roof cannot attach to another roof and the roof cannot be a curtain roof.
This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow.
Low slope roofs are often referred to as flat roofs.
8 set variable material for sloped insulation.
On the properties palette select or clear defines roof slope.
Draw the arrow then click it and change the properties to select the right levels and offsets.
The roof assembly is defined as the roof deck along with the roof membrane and roof insulation.
In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by.
