8 set variable material for sloped insulation.
How to make a slanted roof in revit.
If slope is activated a triangle symbol will appear next to each boundary.
When editing the roof sketch select the edge or edges you would like to slope and select defines slope on the options bar.
To create a hip roof 4 side slope define slope for all boundaries.
On the properties palette select or clear defines roof slope.
To create a gable roof 2 side slope remove slope for half the boundaries.
Check variable material in the roof structure to create sloped insulation.
In the drawing area angle icons identify which lines of the sketch define slope.
The insulation thickness must be at least as thick as the vertical slope else you will receive a warning.
By applying the defines slope property to lines of a roof boundary you can create different roof types including flat roofs gable roofs and hip roofs.
In the option bar make sure define slope is activated for boundary lines.
To specify roof pitch select a slope defining boundary line click the numeric slope definition.
In sketch mode select a roof boundary line that defines slope indicated by.
By default the whole roof will be sloped.
The revit interface is a bit unclear about constructing a flat roof but no roof is truly flat and creating a flat roof in revit allows the designer to annotate the roof without having to deal with the issues associated with the modeled hips and valleys of a low slope roof.
