What is an Extrusion Roof in Revit?<br />An extrusion roof in Revit is a type of roof that is created by extruding a sketch along a path. This allows you to create complex roof shapes that cannot be achieved with traditional roof tools.<br /><br />How to Draw an Extrusion Roof in Revit<br />1. Start by creating a sketch: Draw a line or curve that defines the path of the extrusion.<br />2. Access the Roof by Extrusion tool: Go to the "Architecture" tab > "Roof" > "Roof by Extrusion".<br />3. Select the sketch: Choose the sketch you created as the path for the extrusion.<br />4. Define the roof profile: Create a profile that defines the shape of the roof.<br />5. Specify the extrusion properties: Define the properties of the extrusion, such as the distance and direction.<br />6. Refine the design: Use Revit's editing tools to adjust the roof's shape and layout.<br /><br />Tips and Best Practices<br />1. Use reference planes: Use reference planes to help you create complex roof shapes.<br />2. Define the roof profile carefully: Make sure the profile is accurate and complete to achieve the desired roof shape.<br />3. Use the "Pick Lines" option: Use the "Pick Lines" option to quickly select existing lines or curves as the path for the extrusion.<br /><br />By following these steps and tips, you can create complex and unique roof shapes using the extrusion roof tool in Revit.
