With the roof in place, we can now start thinking about how we're going to hold the roof up.
00:06
In this video, I'd like to add some walls at the edges of the roof,
00:11
and attach the tops and the bottoms to conform to the oddball shape of that roof that we've created.
00:19
Okay, let's see how we can do this by jumping into Revit.
00:24
As before, in the recent files, we simply click on the Architectural model.
00:29
Which is a central model, and we're going to be overriding our existing local copy.
00:37
We are welcome to the Startup screen. So let's go to the Floor Plans under Garden.
00:50
We double click on that.
00:53
Let's jump right in.
00:56
So on my Architecture tab, click on Wall.
01:01
And for our wall type, let's pick generic 5 inch.
01:08
My base constraint will be roof, which is fine. And my base offset will be zero.
01:16
My top constraint will be unconnected. And I want my unconnected height to be 12 feet.
01:23
It doesn't really matter what the height is, because we'll be trimming the wall to extend to the roof.
01:31
For our basic wall, click on Edit Type.
01:36
And as before, we're going to duplicate that and call it Garden Roof. Click OK.
01:44
We want to edit the structure.
01:46
So under Construction Structure, click on the Edit button.
01:51
And let's make the thickness - let's make it 3 inches.
01:56
Once again, make sure that you add the inch symbol.
02:01
Span this a little bit.
02:03
And for the material, let's browse out once again,
02:08
and select Glass, and OK.
02:14
Click OK once again.
02:18
And once again.
02:20
So now the walls that we're going to be adding is the basic wall, Garden Roof.
02:28
In my Draw panel, contextual Place Wall ribbon, I can pick lines.
02:35
And let's set the offset to 6 inches. Zoom in.
02:41
And pick the inner edge, this wall,
02:44
and make sure that it's offset to the inside by keeping an eye on the light blue dashed line.
02:52
And just go around and select the perimeters.
02:57
Make sure that they're being offset on the inside. You see this dashed line which represents the wall.
03:07
Okay, click Modify to finish the command.
03:11
And let's see what this looks like in 3D.
03:14
So in our Project Browser, go to the Garden View 3D and double click.
03:23
The walls intersect the roof in places.
03:27
In other places it doesn't quite reach up far enough.
03:32
So it's quite simple what we need to do now.
03:35
In order to select the four walls, I go and hover over one wall, it gets highlighted.
03:41
And then I just tap the Tab key, and all four walls get highlighted.
03:49
Now I select them, and you notice down in the lower right corner,
03:54
in my filter icon, it shows me that four are selected.
03:58
So I've got the four walls selected, we see how they don't quite project up to the roof.
04:05
And also notice the base of the wall that intersects the previous wall mass that we created, that formwork.
04:16
So what we can do is, in our contextual ribbon, we can attach to the top of the base.
04:23
And I select the roof that we generated.
04:27
And now it trims or extends the walls to meet that roof.
04:34
I can once again go to my Attach Top Base.
04:39
And in this case, I want to attach it to the base.
04:45
And I select that form. Now it trims the walls back to reach that base.
04:52
So there we have it,
04:55
a funky roof with a glass translucent wall for our garden.
05:06
Now, in the next section, we'll be looking at some design options to show to the client.
05:12
To allow them to make more informed decisions by looking at different options.

To attach walls to the roof, follow these steps:
There you go, a completed roof and attached walls.
