I work for a Airport Developer. Everything we build has to fit under these imaginary surfaces for obivous reasons. What I'd like to do is build these imaginary surfaces in Revit so i can build my hangars and office buildings then place them "hopefully" under this imaginary surface. Here's a pdf I found online that can explain it a little better: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/planning/aeronaut/documents/PT77_Ism%20Layout1%20(1).pdf OK my question is how do I build a surface... I'd like to be able to see through this surface like this image shows: http://www.openairport.org/images/oa_ge_outview.jpg I was trying to use a roof command although it would a huge roof :-) What would you use to create this "imaginary surface in Revit??? This surface would start at a surface point and have a 7:1 Slope. I'm also not sure how to create that slope in Revit either. I'm using Revit Architecture 2009 and I just finished the essentials class on 9/10/2008 Thanks for any help at all!

You could use transparent walls and make them huge. Or, you could use massing

Create a mass on that and give the material, you can choose "Glass Red" , go to materials>glass, you will see the Red Glass....

I'm not sure why I'm having such a difficult time with the massing. I can only extrude this from floor plan 1 to the desired height. but in reality I should be drawing a triangle in the north elevation and extruding it but I haven't been able to do this. I thought I could extrude and then rotate the entire mass on its side. Any suggestions at all?
