    Default Metal Deck Roof.

    I am trying to model this Roof and have no idea how to accomplish this in Revit.

    I am attaching a PDF. The Perimeter points are at 873'-2" the other two points are at 873'-11" and 874' 0-1/2" at one point and they change around the building. I was trying to do it even in pieces and no luck.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you using the latest version of Revit (RAC 200? It has shape editing tools for roofs and floors that should be able to accomplish your task.

    thanks for your response
    so you are saying that the new version will allow me to lay the roof down and edit the endpoints of the segments and put them at different heights? i.e. pt1 = 873'-2" pt2 = 873'-2" pt3 = 874'-0 1/2" pt4 = 873'-11"

    I will install new version today , but curious how to accomplish this , can you elaborate?

    thanks

    Figured out how to do this. Was not working since I had an arc in the geometry of the roof. What I was tinkering around for days, got done in 20min with this functionality. Now to get them to do curved ones too. I basically segmented my arc.

    the "official" workaround for curved roofs is to square it off and then use a void to cut the curve.
