We are creating a roof that involves complex curved geometry. We have resorted to using the loft tool in AutoCAD to produce the form which has worked fo us. I am now unsure how I can import this into a revit model so it functions as a 'roof', allowing us to attach walls etc to it. Does anybody have any suggestions?  We are using Version 2009.

Simple, if your CAD obj. is a ACIS solid in Revit go to "massing" create a new mass, import the DWG file, finish the mass then apply "Roof By Face".

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN  more, and more, and more.... REVIT
