I am trying to get my drawings into revit but I am stuck on getting the basic form of the building in Revit.
Since I am using slanted walls I need to work with a Mass but I can't get the mass look like my idea. The picture I attached is a simple screen capture of Rhino with the outline of the building.
How to make a dormer or cricket that's inset from edge of roof? The inset (for a chimney) has me stumped. Attached screenshot shows my approach using slope arrows but it's not working with the inset.
I keep getting a Revit warning 'Highlighted walls are attached to, but miss, the highlighted targets.' when I try and attach part of a long wall, spanning between gables, to the underside of roof eave. I must emphasise that this happens on a long wall where I have edited the profile to create three step levels each with a roof on them. Parts of this wall do attach to their respective length of roof but others don't. I wonder if this is something to do with the wall's height parameter, which is the same for the whole length of the wall but will have differing distances to the edited profile?
In the file attached, there's a wall roof window joint showing the following problem: It seems like the window interferes with the joint, so that it isn't right, if the window is not situated higher than the roof slab. In the picture, the joint on the left side is correct, but the ones on the left are incorrect.
I know I can probably overdraft this in 2-D; but is there a way to clean this up?I'd like to stop the inside finish surface of the roof element, inside the building (horizontal pine boards).I tried the similar trick like a wall base extension; didn't seem to work. (?)I'd like to have the rafter to top-plate seat cut out of the rafter also.
I am drawing up my house in Revit to get use to the software. I created my house, and now my garage. I selected to create a roof by footprint but when I tried to join the roof to the adjacent wall, the overhang does not follow. I then selected the overhang to join to the adjacent wall but an error pops up: "Part of the roof to be joined misses the target face."
I attached a PDF of the roof.Also, you will notice a line that separates the two walls I joined together. I may separate them but how do I avoid this if I want to make one solid wall?
As for the wall selection, I have vinyl siding and would like to use properties that relate when selecting my exterior walls. I do not see anything regarding that besides wood siding. I thought that should be in my properties when I downloaded and purchased the software.
how to create a wall that infills the gable between two levels of the same roof. There is no internal wall below this location - so this would be some sort of lightweight studwork and panelling rather than brick.
Exist a way to Attach the top of the wall in a element that is not a floor or roof. I have a wall under a stair and i want to make de top of the with a slope.
I am trying to align the curtain wall with the edge of the concrete slab/face of wood framed wall (Core). I have tried to align and move however the whole wall moves as well as the edge of the slab. How I can move the Curtain wall leaving the other elements in place?
I have an exterior wall with plaster and lathe on the exterior, and gyp board on the inside. When I edit the wall structure, and modify the layers so that I can take the interior wall finish only up to the sheathing line, the wall does not join at the corners properly. It leaves a gap for the interior fininsh at a corner above the sheathing line when looking in 3d. What are you all doing with parpet walls and the interior finishes above the roof line?
Our model uses several material types for insulation, mostly rigid variations at this point. The various materials are used in floor, wall and roof systems. Is there a way to create a single schedule that would list insulation quantities across all three system types?
What I am trying to do is to model a roof using Revit Lt so that the roof tiling and battens carry on over the gable wall. Is it possible to add a void profile to the roof slab in order to achieve this or do I need to model a small section of roof to just cover the wall portion?
“Drag wall end” to the edge of the wall (indicated),In the attached screenshot, I wanted to drag the end of the temporary dimension from its location to the end edge of the wall but sounds not to respond!
How this temporary dimension can be dragged to the edge of the wall?
I would like to know whether it is possible (and how) to trim a wall that was generated from mass face to a roof (also generated from face mass) or/and make a horizontal hole in it. The wall itself is not straight or curved, it shifts outwards from the building from base to top (still in an elevation it looks like rectangle).
Followed all the steps found online, but when I select "Join Roof", the cursor will not select any of the edge lines (tried on multiple roofs). Software Error? Revit 2014 Architecture.
I've made a few roof hosted families, and they've all been fine in the past. For some reason, with this one, when you load it into a project it appears to be one 'ref level' too high for the roof host, hence revit errors, displaying that it can't cut the roof void.
I assume this is something really simple I should (or not!) have done with the family when I started it, can it be saved?
How do get a fascia to suit the make up of the roof, the fascia is to small?Or do i change the roof make up? The make up of my external walls are all the same, but in 3d mode the block work is showing up on some of the walls how do i change this to show a plaster finish?
I am currently working on a home where i need to have a single slanted roof go across the perimeter of the home to form a roof. But, i have run into the issue of not being able to connect the circled area(see attached) Is it possible to connect those separate roofs and if so how?
I just created a wall sweep on a wall , but I noticed the sweep doesn't adjust to the wall profile, please see the second floor wall in the attached image. Is there anyway to make the sweep adjust to the profile of the wall automatically?
I am using AutoCad Architecture 2011. In the Style Manager, I created a wall style using a 8"CMU unit plus a 2" insulation board. I have a gable roof slab that intersects with the wall. I want to trim the insulation board along the bottom of the roof slab, and show the CMU above the roof slab.
I'm trying to make two pads share a curved edge but they just dont seem to be able to do so. I have to leave a gap between the two pads. If i snap the edge together, while the computer regenerates an error pops up saying pads can share edges but cannot overlap. Whats the deal yo?
I know that Archtecture uses views differently than the other AutoCAD verticals, but I'd still like to find a solution to this. When I use the 3DCLIP command to create section views of models created in Architecture, the wall and roof objects do not clip correctly. The clipping planes do not create sections of those objects.
Is there a way to get the 3DCLIP command to actually intersect wall and roof objects?
