Your endcap trick is absolutely brilliant!!!

This has been one of my best revit learning tutorial

This is THE BEST tutorial on this subject. Thanks for not skipping the hard parts.

Thanks for a comprehensive tutorial on those topics, one video but cover all points, brilliant. Very helpful and practical for the audience. Also, thank for your prudent video editing which separate a tutorial into parts, which easy for the audience for each section. I know it take your time longer to make a neat video like this. Thanks a lot, Sir.

This video is actually the best I've seen for this topic. Keep it up man.

you solved all of my problems in one simple video.... complex , but beautifully explained. thx a mil

Best revit tutorial I’ve seen! Thanks for explaining everything clearly and actually pointing up when you miss clicked etc Big thumbs up!

Thanks for the tutorial. Just from a builder perspective it would have been interesting to see how you give a little slope to the gutters because that is how it is constructed in the real world, all the rest mate, 10/10. Cheers

Really comprehensive tutorials. Thank you for producing these. 👍👍

Please make a video on how to make a pipe elbow fitting family. THANK YOU!

Amazing video! & God bless your baby too

This is brilliant for the end caps. Just dissapointed that the guttering system can't be split and save time!!! Love the content, now a subscriber too.

You explained it well mate. Been from many tutorials 'bout revit and I can say this channel is kinda underrated. Hope you upload more vids with tricks and detailing methods. Me and my colleagues are looking forward. *cheers

Awesome video, I've been trying to find someone explaining this part. Finally! Thank you!

you sir are a magician

Thank you. I am learning so much from your videos. Keep up the good work! Your tutorialas are amazing.

Best soffit tutorial on RU-vid, thx!

very educative video. Thanks for the simple and intuitive work arounds

When you right clicked on the gutter in the project browser to edit the family, how did you do that? When I right click on it that option isn't available and none of the options lead me to be able to edit the family, and on top of that I can't find the gutter family anywhere in my computer no matter what I do.

Best tutorial about soffit!

thanks for your help bro. from down here in new zealand. oh and im assuming thats a new born baby in the background. if so then congrats to you.

Oh man i hate modeling roof until a saw this

Great stuff, thank you!!

Very nice. thank you.

Great video, it helped me a lot! But on my Revit went something wrong. For some odd reason the pipe is shown as a black line on my 3D perspective. On the north, east etc. views it is shown correctly (like in the video). Does annyone know what I did wrong / what I'm supposed to do?

Hi, great tutorial, easy to follow and very helpful. I don't have a gabled roof so it was easier to pick all four sides. This is long. Two things: I could not proceed in the ROOF PLAN view. I had to go to the BUILDING ONLY view I created on Sunday. I also see a Lowest Level notice when I clicked on ROOF and the soffit dropdown. My soffit is on the foundation! WHAT? I moved it up to the ROOF then clicked on the green check mark to see what would happen. "Sketch is Empty" I was able to follow setting up the edits but kept it at the plywood, but changed to plastic in the Edit Type. I picked my walls just find. Everything was good until 6:20. I could not close out of the mode using the green checkmark. The error says Cannot have overlapping lines. 🤔I don't know what is missing or if there is something I can't see in this view. I will try it again but still wonder why Revit won't let me add this in the ROOF PLAN as you have done. After a break I took another look. Ah ha! Now I see see it. My BUILDING ONLY still had the lines of the driveway in it. Earlier I was picking the structure walls AND one of the driveway walls prompting the error message. Now, don't tell anyone that there is an extra soffit floating above the garage (detached with same roof style) 🙄 What now? Why is this? Upon adjusting the offset to -2' see the main house soffit dropped. This is because I tried to do both the garage and the main house which are two different heights. I need to execute each individually. I did that twice, one at a time, but I still end up with a 3rd Soffit floating above the garage roof. Last time for tonight. I still cannot create a soffit in the ROOF PLAN as you are doing so I am closing the view. I opened the ROOF FRAMING this time and will work on the main house, not the garage. Picking roof edges, but no option to pick walls. That worked for the main house but after saving the view, it vanished. Back to the Building only and the same message: "You have created the Roof Soffit on the lowest level - Foundation, move it to Roof from the dropdown. Totally lost on this, where else would it go? After selecting Roof, now I have the modify and create tools to work. I followed your steps exactly here, picking roof edge via the edge, then the outside walls, noted that they locked. Then finish up using the green check. No error messages. OK. I see a double pink line all the way around which tells me I have a soffit on the main house. Now to the 3d view. I can see it under the eaves. OK After saving it vanishes again. I am done with this for the night. NO idea what is going on. If anyone else has any thoughts I am all ears. Thanks!!

Thank you, very clear and informative.

Good Explanation Thank you so much.could you plse make a video of eave return?

Really helpful thanks

Great Video. Keep it up mate!

Thanks for the video cleared up some issues for me. Are you able do show how to create a dry verge overhang

thanks you bro!!

Great tutorial! However, the pipes doesnt work for me. It just draws some strange lines, not sure where either. Tried changing to 3d-view and it is just a line. I tried changing the diameter also to make it bigger just in case there was some sort of scale issue but it remains a line.

Wow 👏 👏 👏

mg i love the accent

thank you!, kool video!

nice work

In case someone else doesn't see their pipe while drawing, just change the Detail Level of the view to "fine"

When i am adding pipe,it is coming like a stick...(like a "thin line)...how can i fix that...please help...

Hello, What 3D view are you using ? its just when i'm making my gutters i have them black and its very hard to see anything. Thankyou.

How to change hight in fescia

what if i wanted my downpipes to be a rectangle? how would i do that

I followed your tutorial but I'm stuck in the pipe drain, the elbow family is not in my libray, I'm using Revit 2016

Thanks for explanacion. But how to quantify the gutters in schedule?

Also, do you know how to change the colour of the rain water pipes to black ? Thank you

Please I notice my Revit does not have 'system' tab. how can I set it pls

Great content but takes. 2 minutes in Sketchup - painfully frustrating!

Very nice, just maybe slow a bit your voice sometimes :)

Amazing💦

Bro its easyer to have a kid then doing this in revit. In sketchup i do this 100 times faster. Life is short

tedious. but thanks
