Study Notes
Introduction
- 23 different roof types are modeled in the video.
- A previous video, covering 10 roof types, was successful.
- Viewers should visit the website for more in-depth Revit courses.
Modeling a Shed Roof
- Use the "Roof by Footprint" tool (Architecture tab, Build panel).
- Adjust the base level (e.g., Level 2).
- Use the "Pick Walls" command for roof selection.
- "Define Slope" is unchecked for simple shed roofs.
- Adjust overhang for preferences.
- Use "Extend into Wall Core" for complex roofs.
- Define roof slope in properties or visually.
- Attach the roof to walls using "Attach Top Base" and the Tab key.
Modeling a Gable Roof
- Simple gable roof modeling.
- Use the "Pick Walls" command, same settings as shed roof.
- Select opposing longer sides and activate "Define Slope."
- Set desired slope, forming lowest points of the roof.
- Attach all walls to the top base after roof creation.
Modeling a Flat Roof
- Use the "Pick Walls" command, setting overhang to zero.
- Activate "Extend into Wall Core" for wall integration.
- Elevate the roof using the top offset option in the properties panel.
Modeling a Hip Roof
- Same "Pick Walls" approach as previous roof types.
- Activate "Define Slope" as all sides have slope.
- Adjust slope as needed.
- Attach all walls to the top base of the roof after creation.
Modeling a Hip and Valley Roof
- Same steps as hip roof.
- Valleys where roof sections intersect.
- Can incorporate gable roof designs for complexity.
Modeling a Jerkin Head Roof
- Start with a hip roof structure.
- Use "Plate Offset from Base" to raise opposing roof sides.
- Creates the distinctive "Jerkin Head" style.
Modeling an M-shaped Roof
- Use the "Roof by Extrusion" tool.
- Select plane to extrude the roof from.
- Define roof level and extrusion start.
- Sketch an "M" shape profile.
- Adjust overhang as needed.
- Press Finish to confirm extrusion.
- Attach the roof to walls.
Modeling a Mansard Roof
- Begin with a larger floor plan.
- Use "Roof by Footprint" tool, adding a set of lines with overhang and defined slope.
- Add another set of lines inside, with a higher slope (e.g., 60-70 degrees).
- Adjust the slope of all lines for the desired steepness.
- Create a second roof for the lower section with a smaller slope.
- Use the Move tool to position the lower roof correctly.
- Attach the roof to the walls using "Attach Top Base".
Modeling a Saltbox Roof
- Build upon a gable roof foundation.
- Use the "Plate Offset" option on one side to adjust elevation.
Modeling a Sawtooth Roof
- Use the "Roof by Extrusion" tool.
- Define plane, desired level, and sketch a repeating profile.
- Use alternating steep and shallow angles.
- Adjust scale if needed.
- Attach the roof to the walls using "Attach Top Base".
Modeling a Dropped Eaves Roof
- Use the "Pick Walls" command, defining overhang and slope.
- Leave "Define Slope" unchecked for remaining sides.
- Creates dropped eaves on the un-sloped sides.
- After creation, attach the roof to the top base.
Modeling a Butterfly Roof
- Favorite design of the presenter.
- Use the "Pick Walls" command with the "Define Slope" option.
- Sketch a butterfly shape.
- Adjust overhang as required.
- Attach walls to the roof's top base.
- Create the dip (butterfly effect) by using a negative slope value and a positive base offset.
Curved Roof
- Create using the "Roof by Extrusion" tool.
- Model an arc on a chosen plane.
- Adjust the arc's shape with offset and angle changes.
- Remove arc ends to create a smooth curve.
- Align the extruded curve with the project.
Clerestory Roof
- Two roof sections joined by a wall.
- Position the wall first.
- Create two separate roofs.
- One roof with overhang and "Define Slope" unchecked.
- Other roof with "Define Slope" activated.
- Trim and extend the roofs to meet at the wall.
- Attach the wall to both roofs.
A-Frame Roof
- Roof that forms a house structure.
- Start with a single level.
- Use the roof tool to make a rectangle.
- Select sides and activate "Define Slope" with a steep slope.
- Add interior walls and attach them to roof and base.
Combination Roof
- Similar to Mansard, with steep top, shallow bottom.
- Create the shallow bottom roof first (e.g., slope 5-10 degrees).
- Then the steeper top roof (e.g., 45 degrees).
- Adjust position in floor plan view.
Cone Roof
- Simple cone shape.
- Use the roof tool, selecting a low overhang and a steep slope angle.
Dome Roof
- Create using a "Dome Mass" family.
- Load the family using the "Insert" tab.
- Adjust diameter and height of the dome mass.
- Position on the appropriate level.
- Convert to a roof using the "Roof by Face" tool.
Dutch Gable Roof
- Gable with an additional gable protruding.
- Create a basic gable roof.
- Leave a gap using "Pick Lines" with offset.
- Create the secondary roof section with "Pick Lines."
- Optionally uncheck "Define Slope" for sides.
- Properly position the second roof section.
- Add a wall to the middle and attach to both roofs.
Pyramid Hip Roof
- Hip roof on a square floor plan.
- Four sloping sides forming a pyramid.
Gambrel Roof
- Combines gable and mansard roof styles.
- Start with a basic gable and overhang.
- Create a gap with "Pick Lines"; extend gap sides and delete middle segment.
- Create a second roof section with a less steep slope (e.g., 20 degrees).
- Mirror the second roof section (using the mirror tool).
- Position the second roof correctly.
- Attach all walls to the base and roof sections.
Hexagonal Roof
- Create a hexagonal floor plan.
- Use the roof tool with "Define Slope" on all sides.
Monitor Roof
- Gable roof with a smaller gable on top.
- Start with a basic gable roof.
- Add a smaller rectangle in the middle of the footprint.
- Create a new roof on top using "Pick Lines".
- Define a slope for the smaller roof section.
- Add walls and attach to the small gable and the base.
