This video covers how to create a flat roof in Revit that contains slopes for roof drainage.
We cover creating the flat roof, adding slopes to roof by using shape editing and split lines.
Once the split lines are added, we then adjust the points to actually slope the roof. Once sloped, we then adjust the roof materials to have the desk remain flat and the insulation taper to create the slopes for drainage. Finally we do a bit of Line Work to create the clean view.

In this webinar, we will discuss the technical aspects of the Tapered Module. The key topics are based on the most frequently asked technical support questions.

Tips and Tricks include:

•What option to choose when using sump boards.
•How to get the most accurate cricket adhesive estimate.
•Navigating the minimum thickness at the drain.
•Ways to adjust the fastener length.
•A frequently requested tech support question—How to use the multiple base insulation enhancement.
•And more!

It is not really important which data source you use to create a roof plan. We show you in this video how UDS TAPERED ROOF turns a photo into a 3D CAD model. Quickly and accurately. You will also learn why UDS TAPERED ROOF is already BIM-capable.

Discover how easy it is to create a tapered insulation estimate.

This video covers the tapered module drawing tools in version 12.

This video tutorial is good for REVIT Architecture and REVIT Structure. in the tutorial we show you how to use an in-place 'sweep blend' to create tapering roof chickets made of built up rigid insulation. As usual we include lots of side tips for REVIT.

Let Engineered Wood Solutions, Inc. help in you in designing the most cost effective roof system for your project by using the Tapered Web-i® Joists. Tapered I-Joists are an ideal solution for your flat ceilings requiring a sloped roof up to 1/2”/ft. slope.

DESIGN:
• Better than parallel flange I-Joist with expensive over framing; expensive tapered rigid insulation. • Tapered I-Joist are much stronger than residential I-Joist, which requires less pieces at high loading conditions. • Designed to support a variety of loading conditions: fall arrests, mechanical screens, planters, guard rails, common deck areas. • Minimum low end depth can be 9 1/2” to fit those buildings requiring height restrictions with a maximum depth of 30”. • Two-hour fire walls can be easily blocked with full width and depth (GLB’s or LVL). • Long spans, multiple spans and cantilevers make it easy to go long distances with the Tapered I-Joist. • Web-i® Joists can be vented with 1 1/2” round holes at 12” on center if required for batt insulation. • Tapered I-Joists allow for positive connections for railings and fall arrest. • Perfect for multi-family, hotel, dormitory, custom homes, dry use decks & patios, requiring minimal slope. • Web Joist custom design software for Tapered I-Joist systems and complete engineered shop drawings. COST

EFFECTIVE:
• No expensive over framing required. • Solid webs make an enclosed area; sprinkler heads are not required in attic space like plated trusses, which in turn is a large cost savings to your structure. • LVL rim board and blocking to match tapered depths make it easy for installation in the field.

FRAMERS LIKE IT:
• Flexibility to cut Tapered I-Joists to actual conditions on site; with plated trusses no field modifications are allowed. • Shipped directly to job site for ease of crane unloading. • One Tapered I-Joist over multiple spans cuts down on labor costs. • 3 1/2” wide flange for ease of nailing. • Face mount joist hangers allow for a variety of depth of tapers to be installed. • Light weight easy to move without equipment.

Discussing which situations do tapered Enertherm boards prove their worth?

Save time & money with Nuralite tapered boards by using insulation to create falls faster. We will get into the technical aspects of the system to ensure you take away a lot.

autode.sk/V1njcW | This video looks at the variable layer thickness feature for roofs. It also explores how to use this feature in conjunction with shape editing slope tools to create a flat roof assembly with tapered roof insulation.

A lot of maths is contained in the workings of UDS TAPERED ROOF. The results are therefore error-free. This video shows how to calculate easily the roof´s insulation factor.
