I am assembling a detail from a callout at a building section. I have placed a 2x12 rafter that needs to be cut at the facia. I have tried using the cut command in MODIFY and MASKING REGION but they don't work and appear to be for walls, floors and similiar assemblies. I have included a screenshot...I am using REVIT 2014
Thanks in advance

What kind of element is that? If it is a detail element, then it will not cut and the linework tool will not work either.

It is a detail element. There has to be an easier way to properly detail in Revit...especially trimming this rafter like any contractor would with a saw...............any suggestions WWhub?

This is a model view, correct? I would have probably modeled this with the rafter in the roof thickness as a layer and use an in-place void sweep to cut the roof edge correctly for 3D views. Then in a model detail view, I would use the edit cut profile tool to modify the yayers of the roof.

I would have probably modeled this with the rafter in the roof thickness as a layer and use an in-place void sweep to cut the roof edge correctly for 3D views. Not quite understanding.....I have made a roof in my Proeprties box with all the necessary plywood, insualtion and rafter thicknesses. The result is a roof over 1 foot thick. When I go an use ther cut profile ( geometry) in the MODIFY tab noting happens and it is askign for "family instance to cut with??" I have tried but nothing......We were taught in training to use the Deatils Components over the model deatil to enhance and provide th necessary detail..........it Then in a model detail view, I would use the edit cut profile tool to modify the yayers of the roof
You have stated in prior posts about void sweeps. You seem to use this alot but I have no clue on how to apply them but I am willing to learn....Do you have an example?
Thanks WWHUB

I don't agree with the process you were taught. I prefer to use as much of the model as I can so I typically don't replace any of the elements in floors, roofs or walls. Instead I model as close as I can then use the edit cut profile tool in detail views. Here is what my roof like yours would have been. (NOTE: no soffit has been added - tyhat too would have been modeled as well as the roof edge trim.
- Void sweep along roof edge.
- ADding a cut profile to the model - roof rafter.
- The finished - all model detail waiting for either some added detail components or model elements

When i load a family revit giving message (While loading Type '1', parameter 'L': Enter a value or a formula starting with '='.)
please tell me why this message coming where i found mistake. I created just three parameters only L,W,H
In txt file i created
, L##other##milliemeter, H##other##millimeter1, 500x500, 10002, 1000x1000, 25003, 2000x2000, 3500

Please create a new thread for this instead of tagging onto this one. Click on forums, pick revit building / technical support then start new thread.
Please state what family you are trying to load. If not a stock family, then you may have to post the family as well.
Also - what Revit issue?

Your way sounds better for sure, since I too have heartburn over duplication ( something that runs contrary to BIM) in any event I will endavor to creat a void sweep at the roofs edge to replicate the structural components of the rafter.
SO I assume the Void Sweep would be swept along the drip line of each roof slope....Yes?

Yes, to create your roof edge in the model, I would run that sweep along all edges that need it.

Ok. I have tried several times to duplicate the enclosed detail along the roof edge to, as you say, " model as close as I can then use the edit cut profile tool in detail views" So how does one set up the profile of this detail and components to sweep each one along the roof edge to eliminate alot of the detail drawing later on?
Thanks!

You don't model hidden elements.
