- I am super excited to welcome Milos, aka @balkanarchitect , back to the show! On this episode we will be breaking down how to model roofs in Revit. We're going to start off with basic concepts and settings of the Roof tool in Revit and then jump into more complex and integrated roof systems...
So sit back, relax, and let's geek out!

Thanks for watching " Roofs in Revit with Balkan Architect " !!
This was fun! Thanks for having me on! :)
You're welcome any time Milos ! Thanks for coming on and dropping some awesome knowledge bombs...
Thanks for sharing
@@Ruma_studio did you try it
That was great, suggest checking out Mika Nari's comment and the replies.
@@TheRevitKid Balkan Architect has the whole army with bomms, his yt channel is extremely helpful, try to invite him maybe for tips&tricks with Curtain Walls or Adaptive Families? He explains such struff really well.
This video saved my life! thank you both for this amazing collab!!
Cheers!
Balkan architects has helped me sooo much during my university and career I can't even express. thank you thank you. also TheRevitKid, you are awesome!! thanks for this video
Cheers! thanks for tuning in!!!
Awesome session
I could have used this years ago, it would have saved so much frustration. I will bookmark it for my beginner friends! Thank you both.
You never stop learning 😁
That's Amazing and very important to us thanks to both of u , keep up the great work.
Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!
Than was awesome trip into the roofs' world gyus! You're my two favourite BIM guys (apart from Nicolas Catellier from RevitPure and Aussie Bim Guru-Gavin Crump). Thanks for tones of tips!
Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome teaching Sir
It is amazing to see you both, thanks to you I have learned a lot about revit, I have always wondered if you are related, you look like cousins or brothers, ajoajao. Thanks for all the tutorials
Haha we are not related… or at least we don’t know if we are! :)
This is so open for both beginners and advanced Revit users. Thanks, I have been following @balkanarchitect for some time.
Cheers!!
fantastic! shared it on all my social network, also on Linkedin
Thanks Soooo much!!
Cheers! Thank you!
You guys are amazing continue to inspire and educate young architects we appreciate you guys much love form 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Cheers man!! Thanks for tuning in and the kind words!
No problem 👌🏾
1am when live going on. But not miss to watch this at the morning. Good approach n well explained by Balkan architect.👍👍
Cheers! Glad you could tune in!
Well that switched on a few light bulbs with a couple of roofs I struggled with. Awesome.
Glad it helped!!!
You guys are awesome.
Thank you!
wow excellent! super helpful ill try this another ideas. Thanks be to God
Cheers!! Glad you enjoyed it !
wow this was awesome. Learned a lot...
Cheers! THanks for tuning in!
Thank you very much for your great demonstration of Roof modeling, Balkan. BTW, are you still using the Revit tool under student license?
really gorgeous!
🤘
uAU! Amazing videos!
cool stuff @balkanarchitect !
Appreciate it
From Iran🙏🏻
Great tips
Glad you think so!
Muy buena presentación, gracias a ambos !
Our pleasure!
nice
Thanks!
Cheers!!
Muito bom... obrigado
finally had time. Thanks. very informative... now need to think about what & how to incorporate it in my workflow.
also, just thought of a use for cutoff level maybe. Vaulted with flat center ?
Thanks for tuning in… I could see cutuff level and vaulted ceilings… perhaps
In India we use the roof , that satisfies the cutoff option on roof in rivit😊
A quick scenario for use with the cutoff would be when having to deal with height limits imposed by the city / jurisdiction. Say here in Colorado most areas have a 35' height limit (measured in some of the most insane ways). This would be a good way to quickly model a hip roof that may impose on that height limit, and set it to have a "flat spot". Makes it easier than using the hole tool to pop a hole in the roof to model out the flat spot.
I guess I could see that being a way to visually SEE where the cutoff would be… But, my point was you could easily do that within your sketch of your hip roof… That’s all. I get your point, though.
cool
20:00 - COOL!
Agreed!!
👍🏻Simply the best.
Cheers!!
👍👍👍👍
I think the cutoff level would be helpful if the roof stops at a certain point and then continues at a higher point, think something like Japanese roofs. Does such a use make sense, or is it still just easier to trace out the outline of the roof?
Last roof has one problem technically in one out of six elements of roof
👍👍👍
Cheers!!
Got a question. If anybody can answer it, hopefully. Why do the roof lines in the plan view not connect? I appreciate the 3 d model shows the hips and valleys connecting, but as we are creating drawings to build from, at what point do the roof lines connect in plan view TIA
My head is going in bubbles right now
haha 😂
One of my goals in life is to one day be on your show!
Cheer man! ❤️
For my next trick😂
Hehe. :)
related question: is there any way to square the top of a single sloped roof? without creating a void that is hidden
Hi all.
In 49th min, Milos is talking about joining two roofs together, using roof join tool. That is great when both roofs are on the same plane, but if one roof is lower than the other one, that command is no longer working!
I had to join two roofs manually by extending one roof into the other, joining them to see where the intersecting plane lines are going to be, drawing reference planes over them, unjoining the roofs and then modifying the roof edges of one of the roofs (or both if you want to create a dormer opening.
If there is any other way of solving this problem, please do let me know.
Cheers ;)
Hello,
at 46:40 instead of creating a roof, it is possible to use the same tool as at 49:18, it's much easier!
EDIT : I'm talking about the "joint roof" tool, it also works with walls
Not sure what you mean? I don’t think the dormer too would have don’t what the roof by extrusion did for that overhang…
I believe your talking about the join roof tool instead of the roof by extrusion? if so join roof only works to join two roofs... I believe
@@studioEARL Exactly, and NOT !! it's possible with a wall ! i use it everydays :)
@@TheRevitKid Sorry my English is bad.
I meant that it is not necessary to create a second roof for the part that goes against the wall, with the "Joint roof" tool; you can extend the roof to the wall, as you did for the skylight, to the roof.
This tool also works with walls!
I can't put an image in commentary or video .. too bad.
@@studioEARL look the tooltip, it's written :)
How would it work if you wanted to have a roof with an overhang, but wanted a flat bottom for say the patio area, so that the walls didn't go all the way up the roof height. Would you just extend the ceiling out to that area? or would you create a second floor for that area? I hope that makes sense.
I would create a second ceiling for under the patio … just like you would build it! Model it like you build it is always the best approach!
hi do you provide tutor for this software
Re: Cutoff level - I have read you're supposed to be able to use this feature if your roof thickness isn't the same throughout -- for example at rafter tails that get sistered onto TJIs just where they project over the top plate. I cannot tell you exactly how to do this because I never got it to work satisfactorily. Maybe you are clever and can figure it out!
Haha cheers! That could be a possibility for sure ….
Modify sub elements is only available for truly flat roofs. What if the flat roof was sloping front to back (ex 1/4: 12) how would you go about creating the saddles? Thanks
use modify sub elements to make the initial slope, too.
@@TheRevitKid Thanks for replying. Once you've used modify sub-elements to do one thing to the roof (in this case slope it) if I then wanted to create a saddle affecting only the insulation layer, The variable in the roof properties is no longer available to do this (test it out).
Hi from Calexico Ca. how can i get a roof over a bay window
Just model the footprint and add slopes on all the sides you want sloped….
Please link de do
for me specifically this video was not help-full at all when it came to making a gable roof
So sorry to hear that... I thought it was very helpful and I have been using Revit for 18 years. :)
@@TheRevitKid don’t sweat it I should’ve reiterated “it wasn’t helpful (at the time).” I just figured how to make it literally about 10min before you responded
Thank you so much Sir for this beautiful content. 🙂🏚️🏤
Both of you are Awesome
Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!
29:50 Very useful for this type of roof, check the link, wartabengawan.id/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/IMG-20220318-WA0049.jpg
Cheers! YEs!!!
