Revit Sloped Roof Framing
Revit Sloped Roof Framing
(OP)
I am new to Revit as our company is trying to get up to speed with the BIM movement. I am learning on the job and am finding it difficult and time consuming to sift through the web support on the Autodesk Revit site.
I am trying to lay out my roof framing on a slope. This is a constant sloped roof. I have created a reference plane to associate with the roof framing, but when I place my support beams at the front of the building, the beams are rotated about their longitudinal axis and they should be upright.
What is the easiest method to lay out the roof framing on a sloped roof?

RE: Revit Sloped Roof Framing
Put one beam horizontaly and adjust the elevation at end points as required. Then copy that beam as much as you want.
Or use the align command if the arch already have a sloped materia.
RE: Revit Sloped Roof Framing
You adjust the longitudinal rotation of an element through its properites, though I have found it to be somewhat finiky in RS2009. Sometimes it works and sometime it does not, with no logical variation, that I can find, as to why it sometimes does not work.
RE: Revit Sloped Roof Framing
I'm new to revit as well, but you can try this:
Create a roof (use either roof command or structural floor command) You'll want this level to be the bottom of deck el
Modify sub elements to set the elevations
Attach columns to the roof (this will set your columns at the right elevations)
Draw your beam framing (when you attach to a column, snap to a point (using SX or under snap settings))
Frame your joists, etc.
That should work (I think)
