I am trying to input our structural engineers steel beams and joists. We have a roof that slopes at 1/4" per foot and I want to slope the structural system accordingly. I also want to be able to create an accurate measurement of my top of roof, top of steel heights so I can coordinate this with my engineer. I put in my roof, and after 1/2 hr finally figured out how to type in 1/4" slope correctly. Then, after some internet searching, I put in a beam system, as it seemed like I could slope the whole system. But I can't!
I've tried every way I can to pick a new plane/host etc...and it won't let me select the underside of the roof deck to attach my joists to.
Assuming I know nothing about how this works...can someone explain to me what I need to click on specificially? I've went through all the blogs and forums I can find online to solve this, unfortunately, they are all from several Revit versions back and the commands seem to be different in 2013 - and I've not been able to translate them to this current version.
Thanks.
