So helpful! Thanks!

You're welcome!

[@fredwasson8712]

Thanks man! I'd love to see your work flow on adding crown to the fascia of your Greek Returns!

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

I don’t typically have to do modeling at that level, but typically you would make a profile family and then use that profile to define a fascia type. Then make the facia on the top edge of the roof.

[@aitordotco]

Really good.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Thank you!

[@edwardyandoc2004]

Looking forward to your mentorship

Ur amazing

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Thanks!

[@peeweebus6829]

Amazing tutorial, I’ve used revit for 4 years and I always lacked skill in complex roofs. Competing in a national competition today, I’ll come back and let you know if it helped!

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

National Revit Competition?! Sign me up!

[@peeweebus6829]

@@HyperfineArchitecture Skills USA, I didn't podium but this tutorial definitely helped, my annotation and hand drafting were my weak spots, modeling was perfect. I wasnt familiar with complex roofs because my schoolwork has been almost entirely commercial buildings for the last 4 years.

[@studioEARL]

amazing, concise, and thorough. Great job... I've searched but wondering if you have a similar video to doing floors with slope including non-rectinlinear?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Thanks, @studioEarl! Always open to suggestions for new videos. Not sure I know that much about sloping floors though.

[@Kestava_Engineering]

coming from a structural engineer playing architect - thank you!

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Sounds a lot safer than when I play structural engineer!

[@Kestava_Engineering]

[@douglassinkololwe3982]

@@HyperfineArchitecture very true

[@theroadprogram2080]

Thanks for the insight, do you have any tips and ticks if the roof, if the roof is on fire? do you think you need water or should you let it burn with non combustible materials? burn, burn?

[@luisfe7187]

please and how we can make the trusses or structure of those roofs can you make a tutorial please

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Balkan Architect has some good videos on modeling roof structure. At this scale of project I find it is never worth the time to model roof structure. You need to understand the structure of the roof, but your actual truss design can come from the truss manufacturer, as long as your drawings have the correct information for them...overhang, heel height and slope being the big three. I do cover this stuff in the pro course on my site, and I'll consider doing some structural tutorials in the future as well.

[@alialammar7080]

HI, can you explain a mansard roof, but with a flat roof on top and a nice joint between the two roofs (pitched and flat)? Thank you

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Hi Ali, If you want the top to be flat it's the same process I showed in this video. Just don't add a slope to the top portion of the roof.

[@semirindesignllc7229]

Have you created your walls on the 2nd floor for dormers? My walls are not deep enough once I place roof and join the roof on the dormers.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Yep, this is always an annoying decision. The way it would get built in real life, usually, is walls framed above the roof rafters, then filled in below as well. That's more time and effort in Revit, and then it might be visible in one view only. So I usually make sure the elevation looks correct and then use Plan Region or just drafting to make the plan look correct.

[@AlekseiSljusarev]

How can I create roof where slope arrow is not perpendicular to roof fascia line?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

If a roof has a slope it has to be perpendicular to something. In Revit when doing a roof by footprint you may have to just leave 1/4" line in the footprint to make the slope right. Or you could use roof by extrusion OR model a mass and make a roof by picking the faces of the roof. This is pretty rare in residential construction, I've only needs to do it once.

[@rumsiker]

I want to see how an existing 2 floors with crawl space 20 feet hi front face ,and of 36 feet dip with 70 feet long with the roof slope to the back and want to put an extension room facing the house front , at the right end a 14x 24 room one floor creating kind of an L' shape to the whole layout , want to see what kind of roof is best to bud in to the existing wall , this room will have a 2 doors 1to enter from out side and one to enter from new room to the existing house . SAL

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

So start designing it.

[@robstatetx]

Holy cow. This is like learning to drive a car as 15 years old on a nascar track with everyone flying around at 200 mph. At this speed you might as well narrate it in Japanese.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

This is for people already familiar with Revit and who already have a basic understanding of these roof types. This video quickly explains how to approach modeling all those roof types...it’s more than enough to get you started on the right track.

te site don't active, it's change?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

I don’t understand your question.

[@grguzmanr]

@@HyperfineArchitecture I have tried to access the hyperfine architectural site but it is not active

Hopefully just on your end, or maybe temporary. I’ve been on the site today and lots of people browsing around it right now!
