Revit Wont Cut Dormer Roof

I have a roof that i have cut for a major gambrel dormer that is identical on both the front and rear of the building.

Revit wont cut dormer roof.

Select the dormer cut and then select the edit dormer opening from the ribbon as shown in figure 8. I cant seem to select the hole to remove it. Watch the status bar to be sure that you are highlighting the main roof. This tutorial explains the process to create a gable dormer in revit.

The pick roof wall edges tool is active so that you can pick the boundaries that compose the dormer opening. The dormer cut has been left selected to show the modification. If the 2 edges are far enough away from each other it works fine. I made the dormers and the dormer openings the same way but on the rear of the building one line of the cut profile only seems to cut the roof in the vertical direction instead of both horizontally and vertically as all the other cut profile lines do.

I want to eliminate of the dormers. When i erase the dormer walls and roof i have the hole in my roof where the dormer was located. I m not sure if you got this roof to join but here are a couple tricks to try. Seems to be a geometry solver problem with the edges of the 2 roofs where the 2nd slope meets.

On the properties palette set the top constraint for the walls to unconnected and specify a height of 4000. You can also create the dormer with a two cut plumb and the fascia depth set to zero so that the dormer has a flat. It can be as little as 1 128. Structure tab opening panel dormer opening highlight the main roof on the building model and click to select it.

If so how do you do it. Change the visual style back to shaded to show the finished item as in. Place the 3 walls in the plan view. Edit the dormer opening to reflect the roof modification as per figure 9.

Is it possible to remove a cutout for a dormer in a roof with revit. If you make the dormer roof with a very slightly bigger overhang than the main roof it will then join to the main roof. I placed two dormers in a gable roof and used the dormer opening tool to cut out the roof at the dormers. Next the walls need to be moved to the roof line to create the dormer.
