Revit Cut Roof With Reference Plane

I have actually selected the left hand reference plane you can see that i have also named it roof start.

Revit cut roof with reference plane.

Use the cut geometry tool to cut a structural member with a plane. In the work plane dialog select the reference plane name you just created and click ok. That is the vertical reference planes on the left and right hand side of the image. I just tested it again on revit 2013 and it does work.

Open the 3d view and click architecture tab work plane panel set. Non cuttable reference plane structural post navigation. Split face divides the face of an element into regions for application of different materials. Split element cuts an element such as a wall or line at a selected point.

Here i am using 2 reference planes to control the start and end of the roof extrusion. To align roof ridges use the align tool. And cannot for the life of me figure out a way to cut the intersecting beam. This method is worth learning so when plane moves everything goes with it.

Click modify tabgeometry panelcut drop down cut geometry. Select the reference plane. Select the beam to be cut. Graphic display options in the family environment 2013.

To cut a beam at a wall create a reference plane in the plane of the wall where you want the cut to occur. Reference plane creates a reference plane using drawing tools. 1 create another named ref plane in plan view so as to draw the roof profile roughly at end of roof image 1 2. Naming reference planes makes it easier to track their.

Trim extend to corner trims or extend one or more elements to form a corner. Have tried opening by face etc. For example use cut geometry to cut a column to a certain height or to stop a beam at a wall. Cut geometry will not allow me to select the alternately intersecting beam as cut plane and i have found no way of creating a curved reference plane in order to.

Use cut geometry and click the element and then click the plane. Go to end view of roof elevation face on to new named ref plane select roof by extrusion the select new named ref plane from drop box. Select the reference plane and on the properties palette enter a name for the plane.
