Balkan architects has helped me sooo much during my university and career I can't even express. thank you thank you. also TheRevitKid, you are awesome!! thanks for this video

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheers! thanks for tuning in!!!

[@alexgalvez4671]

You guys are amazing!!! Never went to school for Revit, but I’ve learned sooo much from your videos. I really appreciate your channel. Much love from Florida.

We did a hospital with RTU's that were hidden by windscreens, with roofs on them. They were open from the top, but from the street they looked complete. We didn't use the "Cut Off Level" function, because I didn't know about it. That certainly would be a useful application for the Cut Off Level tool.

I could have used this years ago, it would have saved so much frustration. I will bookmark it for my beginner friends! Thank you both.

[@davidasbury6496]

Well that switched on a few light bulbs with a couple of roofs I struggled with. Awesome.

[@TheRevitKid]

Glad it helped!!!

Than was awesome trip into the roofs' world gyus! You're my two favourite BIM guys (apart from Nicolas Catellier from RevitPure and Aussie Bim Guru-Gavin Crump). Thanks for tones of tips!

It is amazing to see you both, thanks to you I have learned a lot about revit, I have always wondered if you are related, you look like cousins or brothers, ajoajao. Thanks for all the tutorials

Awesome teaching Sir

[@yaven8338]

I think the cutoff level would be helpful if the roof stops at a certain point and then continues at a higher point, think something like Japanese roofs. Does such a use make sense, or is it still just easier to trace out the outline of the roof?

[@HensonNyeanenkhen]

Thank you for providing a nice tutorial.

[@itatabisine6250]

Hi all. In 49th min, Milos is talking about joining two roofs together, using roof join tool. That is great when both roofs are on the same plane, but if one roof is lower than the other one, that command is no longer working! I had to join two roofs manually by extending one roof into the other, joining them to see where the intersecting plane lines are going to be, drawing reference planes over them, unjoining the roofs and then modifying the roof edges of one of the roofs (or both if you want to create a dormer opening. If there is any other way of solving this problem, please do let me know. Cheers ;)

[@Noahma3]

A quick scenario for use with the cutoff would be when having to deal with height limits imposed by the city / jurisdiction. Say here in Colorado most areas have a 35' height limit (measured in some of the most insane ways). This would be a good way to quickly model a hip roof that may impose on that height limit, and set it to have a "flat spot". Makes it easier than using the hole tool to pop a hole in the roof to model out the flat spot.

[@TheRevitKid]

I guess I could see that being a way to visually SEE where the cutoff would be… But, my point was you could easily do that within your sketch of your hip roof… That’s all. I get your point, though.

[@Ar.Inamurrahman]

Great tips

[@TheRevitKid]

Glad you think so!

[@ramiroalvarez9968]

One of my goals in life is to one day be on your show!

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheer man! ❤️

[@stevecooper3010]

Got a question. If anybody can answer it, hopefully. Why do the roof lines in the plan view not connect? I appreciate the 3 d model shows the hips and valleys connecting, but as we are creating drawings to build from, at what point do the roof lines connect in plan view TIA

[@thisisbasedonatruestory]

How would it work if you wanted to have a roof with an overhang, but wanted a flat bottom for say the patio area, so that the walls didn't go all the way up the roof height. Would you just extend the ceiling out to that area? or would you create a second floor for that area? I hope that makes sense.

[@TheRevitKid]

I would create a second ceiling for under the patio … just like you would build it! Model it like you build it is always the best approach!

[@studioEARL]

finally had time. Thanks. very informative... now need to think about what & how to incorporate it in my workflow. also, just thought of a use for cutoff level maybe. Vaulted with flat center ?

[@TheRevitKid]

Thanks for tuning in… I could see cutuff level and vaulted ceilings… perhaps

[@yuriistoliar7061]

really gorgeous!

[@mikanari9467]

Hello, at 46:40 instead of creating a roof, it is possible to use the same tool as at 49:18, it's much easier! EDIT : I'm talking about the "joint roof" tool, it also works with walls

[@TheRevitKid]

Not sure what you mean? I don’t think the dormer too would have don’t what the roof by extrusion did for that overhang…

[@studioEARL]

I believe your talking about the join roof tool instead of the roof by extrusion? if so join roof only works to join two roofs... I believe

[@mikanari9467]

@@studioEARL Exactly, and NOT !! it's possible with a wall ! i use it everydays :)

[@mikanari9467]

@@TheRevitKid Sorry my English is bad. I meant that it is not necessary to create a second roof for the part that goes against the wall, with the "Joint roof" tool; you can extend the roof to the wall, as you did for the skylight, to the roof. This tool also works with walls! I can't put an image in commentary or video .. too bad.

I don't want to be mean but this guy is one of the most improvised Revit KZbinr, all he shows is guessing and forcing tools to do so, and in most the cases using it in the way its not mend, ending in a mess for a real project.

cool stuff @balkanarchitect !

[@shameemkjalal5520]

very informative

[@TheRevitKid]

Glad you think so!

[@valeriepierre7297]

Modify sub elements is only available for truly flat roofs. What if the flat roof was sloping front to back (ex 1/4: 12) how would you go about creating the saddles? Thanks

[@TheRevitKid]

use modify sub elements to make the initial slope, too.

[@valeriepierre7297]

@@TheRevitKid Thanks for replying. Once you've used modify sub-elements to do one thing to the roof (in this case slope it) if I then wanted to create a saddle affecting only the insulation layer, The variable in the roof properties is no longer available to do this (test it out).

Hi from Calexico Ca. how can i get a roof over a bay window

[@TheRevitKid]

Just model the footprint and add slopes on all the sides you want sloped….

[@SaHo257]

nice

[@zeldaah]

Re: Cutoff level - I have read you're supposed to be able to use this feature if your roof thickness isn't the same throughout -- for example at rafter tails that get sistered onto TJIs just where they project over the top plate. I cannot tell you exactly how to do this because I never got it to work satisfactorily. Maybe you are clever and can figure it out!

[@TheRevitKid]

Haha cheers! That could be a possibility for sure ….
