Hello all,

I'm a relatively new user to Revit and I'm working on a project that requires windows that are not parallel to the ground (they are rotated to various degrees). Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to AUGI.

First off, what will be hosting the window? A slanted wall? A roof? A floor?...

What you can do is to start a new family Generic model - Face based. When you start that family you will see a rectangle. You will model your window laid there. To create the opening use a void extrusion and make sure it cuts the rectangle. Once you window is modeled, go to Settings > Family Type and Categories and switch it from Generic Model to Window. Load it into your project and you will notice that when you pick it from the Windows menu, it will follow whatever angle your wall is.

I hope it helps.
