I then drew a second roof with a 7 1 2 thickness on the inside of the first by using pick walls with extend into wall to core checked on and no overhang.
Revit attach beams to inside of roof.
You can join roofs to other roofs or walls or unjoin them if they were previously joined.
Draw the roof or floor element.
Sloped reference plane next go to a view where you can see all of your columns i generally use the site plan view for this you will want the columns placed prior to placing your beams.
Use this to add slope to the roof floor.
Select the wall and use the attach top base button to attach it to the underside of only the 5 1 2 roof.
Open a section or elevation view showing the roof floor.
You cannot join a roof to more than one top face of another roof.
You need to create the bay window roof separately.
Once again select the wall first 1.
Select the element and choose modify sub elements.
There are a lot of things to consider when align beams to.
Revit then makes the wall meet the underside of the roof correctly.
The wall must be attached to the target roof and the target roof must be a footprint roof.
To attach a truss 1 verify that roof and structural floor visibility is turned on in the current view.
Aligned dimension creates an aligned dimension.
Cancel cancels an action.
Revit structure placing beams on a sloped plane you will first need to create the sloped named reference plane see video here.
In the plan view go to the home tab work plane panel and choose set.
Automatic beam system creates a layout that is used to control the number and spacing of a series of parallel beams.
These are some of the various process i ve been using in revit.
Roof by footprint can be used for both flat and sloped pitched roofs.
2 select one or more trusses to attach.
Using shape editing tools.
Tile this view with the plan view at the level of the beam system.
But i m not really sure if this is a best practice.
This is the easiest way to do it.
Add to group adds elements to a group.
We can use the same attach top base tool to tidy up this junction.
Then choose attach top base 2 and finally select the roof 3.
I believe this tools are not design for this purpose.
Attach detail group creates an attached detail group.
This is a general.
