A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter covers the following topics: placing roofs by footprint, creating a sloping roof, creating roofs by extrusion and adding a roof dormer. The command architects will probably use most often when working with roofs is the one to place a roof by footprint. Although architects can use flat roof system for a pitched roof, the steps for a flat roof system differ slightly. In the Autodesk® Revit® software, there are two ways to look at a roofing system. One way is to create it by using all the typical roof materials and a large space for the structural framing. The second way to look at a roofing system, as architects are about to explore, is to build the roof in a literal sense—that is, to create the roof as it would sit on the structural framing by the structural engineer.
