Hello all, This is my second revit project, so in our office we're still experimenting...I was wondering what y'all choose to do for flat roofs that have a minimal slope, like to an internal roof drain. As far as I see it, there are two ways of doing this: use the tools in revit (I'm in 2009) to actually model the ridges and valleys in the flat roof, or just forget about the modeling and draw in the slopes in the roof as detail lines only in the roof plan. Which method are people choosing to use? What are your thoughts about the advantages and disadvantages of each one?

In our office, we model to the maximum roof thickness and just use the 2D linework on the roof plan. You really don't need to see the slope in overall sections and it will not show in wall sections.

Thanks for your input. I just spent a lot of time using the new flat roof tools to model slopes in our flat roofs, and I was wondering if it was really worth it to go to all the trouble. Is there a way to keep the 2D linework from getting messed up if the outline of the roof changes? (Say, like, one edge moves a few feet.) Do you try to lock the linework to the edges of the roof, or do you just end up re-drawing it when a change is made?

I guess I have just fixed the linework .... but you could lock it in some instances....
