Adding A Roof By Footprint - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Roof by footprint
With the Roof by Extrusion method of creating a roof, you sketch the profile of the roof from in an elevation
view and then extrude it. You can specify the depth of the extrusion by setting start and end points, or let
Revit Architecture calculate the depth based on the size and shape of the sketch.

Adding a Roof by Footprint

The roof footprint is a 2D sketch of the perimeter of the roof, which you create by drawing lines or by
selecting walls to define the roof profile. The footprint sketch is created at the level of the plan view where
it is sketched. You can control the height of the start of the sloping roof plane using the Base Height Offset
property for the roof. The sketch must contain a closed loop representing the outside or perimeter of the
roof. The roof sketch may also contain other closed loops, which define openings in the roof.
