We recently started using Revit, (Revit Architecture 2009) and I'm having issues trying to generate Gable Ends. I can do the Gable Roof, but I can never get the Gable Ends to show up. (I want to be able to put a vent in.)
Based on a single story Residential Home, I've set my elevations using the 0'-0" as the B.O. Foundation, 4'-0" as my Entry, and 12'-0" as my Roof. (Just an example).
When I create my Exterior Walls on the Entry Level, I extrude or Pad them to the Roof Level (Incorrect Term, I'm sure, but I was primarily a Catia, AutoCAD or Inventor User prior to the Economy Dump.). Add my Gable Roof with an 8:12 Pitch, and no Gable End. The Gabled Roof is there, (This was a learning experiance in itself) but no Gable End.
I'm sure each of you is laughing while reading this post, but I hope you have time to address this simple, (To You I'm sure.) yet irritating issue I am having. Please don't tell me to go back to AutoCAD....... I am really trying to get a grip on this.
Revit has become "The" Architectural Software to use, hence we are trying to implement it. (Small Office with big dreams.)
On the up side, material costs are down, so business is expanding. The current workaround has been, Export Revit to AutoCAD, create the Gable End and complete the Drawing set. I would rather stay within the Revit Environment, and I'm sure if I keep beating my head against it, I will eventually figure it out. I was hoping to avoid that (I have a headache most of the time anyway....LOL)
