This can be achieved in ADT (with some difficulty though). Rigde capping is obviously an integral part of a sloped / hpped roof, and just as crucial as guttering. Vally gutters are also an important roof component. Without both of these, you end up with an unwanted sprinkler system in your roof. So, can they be modelled in Revit??

This can easily be done using hosted sweep-->roof fascias with the appropriate profile applied.
Then its a simple method of selecting the edges you want the capping to be applied...

A couple of things. First, that link doesn't work. Second Mr. Spot. Do you have a profile I can use? Because I've tried to create it and a roof ridge cap and I can't create one appropriatley without it hanging over the roofs corner. If I can get your profile I could edit it accordingly. Or just tell me how to make a profile work. Thanks. Lorne

Does anyone know how to make a Roof Ridge Cap? I don't know how to make a profile to work with a different slope each time? Anyone know how to do this? It would REALLY help. Thanks, Lorne PS-Look at image. This is what I want on all my roofs. Just pay attention to the cap, not the space for ventalation. I don't want this space in my model. Just the ridge cap. How do I do this?

Lorne17, You could make the ridge cap with another style of roof. IE 1" roof with same pitch, refence it to a new level ?" below the ridge line. Once created you can join the two roofs. This will give it the apperance of a ridge cap. It will not show right in a section howerver so you will need to draw in the detail. Hope this helps.. TRUEVISIONS JED

Ok, So I went ahead and tried to create another roof as thh roof capping. But it can't make roof footprint. I think the reason is because there is a slope on the capping in two directions. Going perpendicular to the line as well as following the slope of the roof below it. The capping needs to be at all peaks, not just the main "level" ridge of the roof. Any ideas? I think for now I need to use modeling lines. That's all I can think of doing at this point.

lorne17, The only thing I can think of is to create seperate roofs for each and at each hip joint to andge the roof to meet the other. This would be a pain to get them all at the right levels and tho line up but it would work in the end. Then again at the end you can join them all. You may also want to do some searches at other REVIT sites to see if anyone has created a roof cap that would work for your version. HTH TRUEVISIONS

Yea, that would be a pain. What I ended up doing was creating a Filled Region that is solid white, and created it 2D in both site plan and elevations. It's not as important to have in 3D and we don't need it for sections. We'll re-draw it when we get into detailing it. So this is a temp fix for now, but would love to know how to do it in the long run so that I may be able to have it in site and elevations without drawing it in 2D. Make sense?
