Hi All, I have attached an image of an eave in section. The pitch of this eave is split from the main roof. The only way I could find within revit to achieve this type roof was to create this eave as a fasia profile and sweep it around the main roof. In section the main roof displays the structure of the roof when the view properties is set to fine. Which is great. However, I would like the eave to be shown this way also. Does anyone know how I could do this other than drawing the necessary lines in within the section view. This sort of defeats the power of revit. cadjockey

create the lower roof as a separate roof then use an in-place family roof void to cut the edge so they mitre. HTH.

Maybe its just me, but I do believe there is a way to add detail within a profile, import that profile into another profile that follows a sweep path thus creating the detail level youre hoping for. I saw this within some mullion profile sweeps and was successful in creating my own mullions that would cut in sectioni view actually quite nicely showing a good deal of detail. Its neet because if you accidentaly move your section line over a bit, it doesnt require you to move all your detail lines inside that detail view. Worth checking out definately!

Your correct. Just reading over my post and i totally missed the point for that question. Sorry... You can embed detail components into profiles so when they are cut in the project they display the detail your require. Much better than actually modelling it. I thought you were asking how to create the two roofs so they mitre correctly rather than using profiles. HTH.

Hi Mr Spot, I was hoping to create the roof with the split pitch as a complete roof. However, I have created the main roof with a 30deg pitch as normal and then created a cutom fascia profile to indicate the eave at 20deg pitch. I then created a custom gutter profile which attached to this. The fascia profile has a component detail placed into it to reflect the structural make up of the roof when the visbility is set to fine. This way it reads as one roof when in section showing the level of detail required for the scale. cadjockey.
