Revit roof dormer cut.
It has been a while since i had no clue why something would not work but a while back i had one.
You can model this in any of the 3 primary roof modelling methods but in the example i have opted to use the roof by extrusion tool.
The dormer cut has been left selected to show the modification.
Valid boundaries are highlighted.
36753 so i have this roof and want a dormer opening to cut out the piece of the large roof should not ba a problem right.
After adding a dormer cut an opening for it through the roof.
Adding a dormer which will involve cutting out a hole in the roof using the dormer tool which leaves a hole in the existing phase view of the roof as well as the new construction view.
Or is there a way round that.

Edit the dormer opening to reflect the roof modification as per figure 9.
Change the visual style back to shaded to show the finished item as in.

Valid boundaries are a joined roof or its bottom face a side face of a wall a bottom face of a floor an edge of the roof to be cut or a model line on the face of the roof to be cut.
Welcome to the revit forum.
Select the dormer cut and then select the edit dormer opening from the ribbon as shown in figure 8.
In the end i fixed it with generic models with voids but that is not the way it is supposed to be and a pita.
Type 2 dormers do not have sidewalls and the dormer roof springs from the eaves of the main roof steps for type 1 dormers.
In this example side faces of walls and joined faces of the roof were selected.
Create a void.
Create the walls and roof elements that make up the dormer.
