Huh, that's interesting. Never seen it done like that. Great thing about Revit is there are multiple ways to do the same thing. I've seen people create entire roofs as floors so they can see the composite metal deck in section. Thanks!
@@danialsoozani Create a roof on top of the wall. Set it to variable and modify its sub elements to slope the direction of choice. Then you can apply fascia's if you need to. That way you don't have to do any work arounds with split faces or model in place components.
I mostly do sweeping, but sometimes I do wall stacks and profile on top for my exterior walls. of course it'll be a pain when I have too many types of exterior wall. Profiles on wall stacks will remain on top no matter how you change the height.
I have done sweeps on top of walls as well. However the "Modify Returns" on a wall sweep are sometimes beneficial and I can't get those to work on built-in sweeps. Revit is sometimes like multi-tool, you can use several different commands to get the same thing. Thanks for the comment!
Hmmm...mass timber joints is not something I've done a lot of...I've done more structural steel and wood framing. I can dig into typical detailing practices, and even show 3D in Sketchup, which I've done a lot. Thanks for the feedback!
I do coping caps as roofs, and then use the fascia tool for metal coping caps. This allows you to slope the coping cap back.

I didn't get it. did you mean you create a roof on top of the wall or you categorize the model-in-place as roof to be able to use fascia on it?

Can we do more 3D construction details pleaseeeeee maybe timber mass joints ?

@@doubledeitle amazing every 3D detail helps
