Hi guys,
I'm playing around in Revit Arch 2011 with curved roofs created from extrusions, and I'd like to convert these to generic masses so that I can make curtain walls from the faces. I could swear I've done it before, but maybe not. Will I just have to build the masses as extrusions with the same dimensions as the roofs and delete the originals?
Thanks!

yep -- edit your family, and up in the upper left you'll see an icon appear with a manila folder, called "family category and parameters" Hit that, and you can redefine it with your choice of categories.

Thanks, although it looks like since roofs are a system family I can't edit them in the usual manner. I'm looking around on the ADSK forums and I'll let you know what I find out :-)

Oh... When I saw "extrusions" I thought you meant you created it as an in-place family with extrusions, not created a roof by extrusion... Subtle semantic difference, but your roof can't leave the roof category the way you've done it. Upside is that you can make face-based families that don't care about the category, if you're adding skylights or something of that nature. But if you're replacing large swaths of it.. You might have make a new family I think, for your roof.

Thanks for the response, I think you're right. Luckily I'm not too far into the project, and even more luckily it's just a personal thing on my free time so there are no deadlines :-) I guess the lesson to take from this is that it's real easy to convert masses to walls / roofs etc, but not the other way around... Cheers!
