The default roof on Revit is a Hip Roof, which has every side angled at 30 degrees. The model for Assignment 2 required a gable roof at an angle of 35 degrees. This was not too hard to change. Whilst still in edit mode - before you click the big green tick -click on one of the sides and it will give a few options. For the two end angles, uncheck the define slope button. This will give the gabled roof. The other thing to be wary of when drawing in the roof is the overhang. Most roofs overhang slightly from the walls to provide the house with shade and to protect from the weather. For the model I did a slight overhang of approximately 250 mm. Similar to the walls and the floors, the roof requires the right materials so that the correct height can be acquired for the roof. As I was assigned corrugated sheet metal for my model, the materials I needed to incorporate are listed in the image to the right. However, all the materials included in my roof made the roof line slightly higher than the roof line in the initial plans. Being a gable roof, there needed to be some sort of rafters as such in order to hold up the roof. Using components I was able to draw these in. | Shows the materials that make up the corrugated sheet metal roof The roof height sits at 6754 mm instead of 6594 mm Shows the timber rafters to support the roof |
