Hi - I'm a newbie to Revit and have a project to complete.
Can anyone give me any tips on creating a curved roof on part of my building.
I have tried all three options but none of them seem to work for me, so obviously I am doing
something wrong!
Any advice or assistance would be appreciated. |  | | |

Hi there...
There are a few ways you can do it...it probably depends on the extent of the curve...is it curving in one plane (arched) or multiple planes (shperical or cone). If it's the former, you can probably do a roof by extrusion...you said you already tried this, by it create arches just fine (sketch a curve), and then you can use the join/unjoin roof tool, select the face that you did a roof by extrusion, and then select the face of another roof you want to extend to. it's like extending the roof edge to meet the other roof, assuming you have a condition like this.
In the case of a more complex curve, your best bet is going to be to use masses, model the shape you want, and then use the roof by face tool. You will be able to get pretty much any shape you want doing it this way, but it takes some knowledge of how massing works in Revit.
If I was you, I would look in the help or tutorials on both of these and that should help you see what I mean. If I have a moment later today, I'll see if I can find a video tutorial on one of these that I can post a link to...you could google that as well.
Hope that helps. I'm always glad to help so just let me know if you have any other questions.
Good luck and Happy Reviting! _______________

Hi - sorry for not replying sooner! Unfortunately it was just a simple arch for that roof. I do have another 2 problems that I would be glad of your help with - they don't come under 'curved roof' so I'll post them separately.
Many Thanks
