Revit Cannot Split Face Slope Floor

Draw a slope arrow while sketching or editing the floor boundary.

Revit cannot split face slope floor.

Click modify floors tabshape editing paneladd split line. Sloped floor duration. Shape edit examples use shape editing tools to slope a constant thickness floor or the top surface of a floor with a variable thickness layer. You can create sloped floors in the building model.

Key points you can use shape editing tools to manipulate the surfaces of your floor elements. This could be say a walk in shower in the corner of a wet room. By specifying the elevation of these points you split the surface into sub regions that can slope independently. This is often the result of a curved face.

Start points and endpoints can be added anywhere on the face of. But now revit will only triangulate the area inside the split line boundary. If we switch to a 3d view we can clearly see the triangulated sloped section of our floor. Select a vertex edge face or point anywhere on the structural floor to start the split line.

You can use the add split line tool to add linear edges and to split the existing face of a roof or structural floor into smaller sub regions. Working with hardscapes or sloped floors it sometimes happens that a model pattern will deform or behave strange in revit. The view properties view range view depth must include the floor object in order for the split face to be selectable in a floor plan view. You have a floor object containing a split face region which cannot be selected or edited in a floor plan view.

Add a floor material use split face add another material. Normal manipulation of model patterns move align and rotatable will only apply for straight planes so to fix this unwanted deformation we need to manipulate surface by height. Use one of the following methods. You can use shape editing tools to manipulate the surface of a flat non sloped floor or roof by defining high and low points for drainage.

This video shows the process for the split face function for floors in revit architecture.
