The second works for all roof types.
Offsetting roof gables from same roof revit.
Method 1 gable roof with offset ridge.
A gable roof is placed at the top of a hip roof for more space and enhanced aesthetic appeal.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to generate the gable roof.
Revit roof slope can seem complicated at first glance but by learning a few critical features you can create any roof shape you desire.
See image 1 2nd roof set properties base height offset to same as cutoff height use pick line and pick edges of roof at cutoff height and lock.
Personally i try to do as much with 1 roof as i can.
The sides are all equal length and come together at the top to form the ridge.
There are 2 ways to extend the roof parallel to a ridge.
Those are easily modeled into the same roof as the main one.
Whether you want a double gable roof with 6 pyramid shaped dormers or a simple gambrel roof the basics remain the same.
The inward slope of all four sides is what makes it more sturdy and durable.
In this video i ll teach you step by step how to create any kind of roof shape in under 10 minutes.
Set desired line to not define slope gable join geometry all done.
Hip roofs are more stable than gable roofs.
Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown.
That would include the small overhangs at the gable.
The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs.
It will join the roofs together getting rid of the line.
Modifying revit roof slopes to change the roof from a gable roof to hip roof go into the sketch options select all boundary lines and turn on the defines slope parameter note as a default your roof will have a slope of 30 degrees on all boundaries and form a hip roof unless you change the slope designation in the sketch mode per.
There are other cheat ways but all use 2 roofs and join geometry but this is easiest to explain.
But to answer your question about getting rid of the line just use the join command.
In this video i show how to add the following roof types in revit hip roof gable roof shed roof saltbox roof gambrel roof gullwing roof half hip roof mansard rood follow me on.
