I like that you don't edit out the mistakes, they are helpful in case we ran into the same problems.

[@Ducatista189]

I've been waiting for this one. Definitely used it today.

[@benhadidikbal2820]

Good evening balkan, thank you for all the tutorial that you have published, I recognize that it is thanks to you that I have been perfecting myself to live again while for 20 years I work on archicad, a thousand more thank you

Great!! You're my hero! I was looking exactly for the solution about variables. Thank you.

[@nicf8152]

One of the best videos for creating a different roof with slope.

[@yarasaoud]

Revit the best and your channel the best. thanks

[@123nyanna]

Another useful tutorial! Can you make a video how to make actual drainage system - with pipes external and interior, or with a shaft on the floor(when it is a terrace)?

[@ericg.magnaye6899]

Thank you,. Very helpful

[@deborahernest614]

You just saved me by making this video i needed a flat roof for my project

[@savagegamer9294]

[@shulebairak2099]

man u r saving my life

[@raphusnet1031]

thanks for sharing

[@brityn6514]

very useful thanks

[@jimmybonifacio6734]

Thanks Balkan! Being a noob, can you make a simple mansard roof with three sides? I ended up using conceptual mass but I know theres a much easier way..thanks

[@gilberturesti338]

thanks very helpful

[@jackmead9768]

What about adding in those roof drainage components like scuppers..etc?

[@vzangel]

I need to do a roof with different slope values for the bottom and the top. The way I've resolved it's by doing 2 roofs, then joining them but I wonder if there's a better way.

[@auto-fav8969]

thank you

[@Edgar26937]

Thanks dude

[@tomasoconnor6456]

Good man

[@shenoyglobal]

For flat roof terrace over concrete slab what are the best layers of waterproofing and water drainage ? Also can I have a natural tile as finished top surface?

[@Sherwaneng]

nice one

[@osibamowooluwanifesimi2306]

Omg u are the man😎😎

[@najva_n]

Do you know how to attribute the slope to a 'middle' layer of the roof? I mean the surfaces are flat but one layer in the middle is varied.
It would be a great help, if you give me any solution

[@zegikniet9999]

how do you adjust the variable to for example isolation thickness?

[@mebacp]

Howdy.... Question about developing flat roofs. I normally deal with wood framed roof, with web support. Can you show how to construct using wood web, in addition does it matter since i'm using REVIT LT? In addition I have multiple flat roofs at different heights. Garage at (11'-0") bedroom structure at (12'-6") main living area (14'-0") and bedroom area at (12'-6"). I note this because of the exterior wall and stucco versus interior wall using GWB. The wall type always gets my drawings out of sync with the flat roof and parapet heights. Small tutorial would be grateful.

[@oliveripsen4803]

super

[@ulandahaynes8009]

what about if the building is not just a rectangle but a combination of a hexagon and 2 rectangles?

[@dogbeyphilip2680]

That's great bro
Wants to know more

[@jelenagoulet9007]

Hello, I dont think this drainage part is ok. It doesnt work like that in real life. You shouldnt make a construction variable, but add a layer to make slope. Do you maybe have a solution for the flat roof, where you can define inclination of it by number like 1% as we usually calculate it like that, and not the point?

[@trymylime5032]

I love you

[@dartmachine5465]

Hi sir can you pls create a sorounding halfroof pls ..

[@journaltimeyulc.5603]

what application are you using? CAD?

[@sudique]

Do you have tutorials for beginners? I've been using Autocad but would like to start using revit. Thanks

[@franciscoguzman1524]

where are the steps to do the roof drainage? import component, floor drain, adapt it, etc and so forth

[@E.Luis-Martinez]

is there any way to do this in Revit LT?

[@user-ed2ff3hv1j]

YASSSS

[@davidwallace4244]

I hate that I've never noticed the variable thickness option. Would've made past projects so much simpler.

[@glenn3646]

Revit is a very powerfull tool if you know how to work with it, and I don't yet

[@tomasoconnor6456]

glenn yarzagaray You will soon enough.

[@hafzamacie8858]

Make it wooden with the help of the Woodglut instructions.

[@corporalcrimson3295]

Half of the option you have are not available on my program. Not only that you have dozens of preloaded options which normal users don't. Not helpful..
