Introduction

In Revit Architecture, roofs can be placed by three methods: Roof by Footprint , Roof by Extrusion, and Roof by Face . Roof by Footprint and Roof by Extrusion are explained in this chapter, along with instructions on modifying and creating roofs and placing ceilings.

NOTE:Roof by Face is used to place a roof on any surface of a Mass model. Instructions on how to use this feature are covered in Chapter 15 on Massing & Site.

C H A P T E R OBJECTIVES• Learn how to create a floor by Face .

• Learn how to place a floor by Walls .

• Learn how to create a Floor Family .

• Learn how to add a Floor Slab Edge.

• Learn how to use the Edit Cut Profile tool.

IntroductionIn Revit Architecture, Floor objects are horizontal slabs that are very similar to Roofs. These slabs can be used for any horizontal purpose such as countertops, ceilings, and so on. As with Walls and Roofs, Floors can be configured with components such as structure, floor finishes, carpet, and so on.You typically want to create a floor in a floor plan view. Floors are, by default, offset downward from the level on which they are placed. The Floor Properties dialog box.
