Revit Roof Reference Plane

Revit places a reference plane at the specified offset.

Revit roof reference plane. Now the trick is select and name the ref. Sketch the profile of the roof as an open loop. Click finish edit mode and then open a 3d view. Hide the reference plane in the view hide a selected reference plane or all reference planes in.

To pick an existing line. Align roof ridges in a plan view add a reference plane. Reference planes add a reference plane use the line tool or the pick line tool to draw a reference plane. Click modify to end the line.

Simply they can be used to form a draft outline of where you need to position certain elements. In the drawing area sketch. Alternatively they can actually be used to control the formation and position of 3d geometry. If you specify zero segments the default a.

Name reference planes name each reference plane so you can assign it to be the current work plane. For example i may lay out the perimeter of my building and then align and lock walls floors ceilings and roofs even area boundaries on those reference planes. First of all create a reference plane in desired position and if you like lock it to the roof plane this way if you raise the roof the purlins etc. In revit reference planes can be used for two main purposes.

Plane if you don t none of this works. In the drawing area sketch a reference plane that is not perpendicular to the roof ridges. Used in this way they are acting as simple construction lines. Will go with it.
