Revit TotD – 4.6.09: Roof Eave Offsets


Oh, hi thar!¬† Thanks for coming back.¬† I hope everyone had a better weekend than I did.¬† School… that should be all I have to say.¬† Anyhow, onto roof eaves!

This is one of those things that is a result of people not knowing where to look for the properies they need to get the results they need.  The result we are looking for is having a roof that has one eave lower/higher than the other.  This can be achieved by editing the properties of the sketch line that you wan tto offset, as shown in this video.

Make your roof.

Goto the properties of the sketch line representing the eave you want to offset.

Change the offset.

Finish the roof sketch.

Easy!  Just need to know where to look.  Remember to explore all the property dialogues and look at your options bar if you are having problems figure out how to accomplish something.  Thanks again for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed, please comment and pass this along to your fellow reviteers!
