Mastering BIM: Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Curved Roofs in Revit

This article is from the WeChat official account: Revit Decoration.

We will demonstrate how to create curved roofs in Revit using a volumetric approach.

First, we generate the base section using volume.

Next, we draw a circle of reference planes (RP) around the volume and name each one accordingly.

Then, we draw a curve on the reference plane.

Similarly, we draw curves on the opposite side as shown below.

Copy the curves once at the same location.

Then, draw outlines on the two opposite sides respectively.
