Low Slope Roof In Revit

To create a slope for an odd shaped roof like the one below use slope arrow.

Low slope roof in revit.

Revit will issue a warning when a slope significantly deviates from the expected thickness. This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow. 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. The roof assembly is defined as the roof deck along with the roof membrane and roof insulation. By default the whole roof will be sloped. Flat roof in revit this one is very straightforward.

For a low slope roof you can change these to inch rise to 12 inch run by clicking the roof outline and replacing the slope dimensions. 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. The insulation thickness must be at least as thick as the vertical slope else you will receive a warning. Select the lines of the roof outline and right click over the line.

The second option in the list is toggle slope defining. In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by. The roof system is defined as the roof membrane including surfacing and the roof insulation. Draw the arrow then click it and change the properties to select the right levels and offsets.

In order to enable shape editing tools the following conditions must be met. On the properties palette select or clear defines roof slope. Finish the sketch by pressing the green tick and you will not have a completely flat roof surface in your revit model. Low slope roofs are often referred to as flat roofs.

Floors must be flat and on a horizontal plane. To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition. Want a sloped structure or a sloped insulation in your flat roof. Roof assemblies with a pitch slope of less than 3 12 are considered low slope roofs.
