in our office, we use elevations, sections, plans etc. printed from revit to adhere to chipboard for quick small physical models. I am wondering how many others mat do this, and if anyone has come up with a good solution for complex angled roofs. right now i have to sort of guess on the roofs; it would be great if revit had a command wherre it could directly print 'model pieces' of different elements. i.e. a sloped roof printed parallel to the surface so you could just adhere the print out (w/shingle/standing seam texture) right to the chipboard for the physical model. any one have any suggestions??

ive looked into that but the models we build need to be adjustable; rip off a wing and redo it. also they tend to be last minute.

if i understand your question right, i think you can set your workplane as the surface of whatever angled part of your roof you want printed, then go to view/orient/by plane... this will give you a perpendicular view to the roof angle you want printed. HTH

Two options, use a 3D view orientated to the plane and isolate the element and print it. OR use detail sections cut parallel to the face of the element.
