Dormer in Revit Tutorial (Revit Roofs Tutorial) 

ohh really. i am too. thanks balkan architect👍

Typically I use the fascia tool with a fixed angle V or inverted V profile for valley/ridge/capping. It wont match the roof angle automatically unfortunately, so usually I'd build a few angles types, or just build them to work for the corners of 22.5 degree angles rooves.

@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks. Part of me does wonder why Revit does not cater for things like this that alter the outline shape of the mass as standard without work arounds, but will have to try.

Each viewport has 'Graphic Display Options' along the bottom left. It's the little menu with hidden line, shaded, realistic, etc. Just go to the top of that menu for additional options, find the 'Shadows' area and you can play with casting shadows based on the time of day or just ambient shadows to give a general sense of depth. The 'Sun Settings' is where you set the time of day to make shorter shadows close to 12p or longer shadows earlier/later in the day. Hope that helps!

The dormer roof you're extending has to be 'contained' within the boundary of the main roof joining to. Easiest to view in an elevation facing the dormer you're working on to ensure it works. Otherwise it's just another roof if it's higher than the roof you're joining to. Does that answer your question?

haha I know, but it helps with viewer retention. There are parts of the video where I'm just speaking and it gets boring really fast, when there is a moving face there, it helps to keep people focused and not click on a different video.
