About this asset

Showcasing a raked upper head and exterior perimeter trim, this fixed window Revit family provides custom fenestration for pitched roofs. Geometric simplicity defines this window component, designed with a distinct raked head profile that aligns with non-standard roof slopes and clerestory openings. The assembly incorporates a flat outer trim surround, a continuous projected sill at the base, and an inset window frame housing a single pane of clear glazing. Clean planar reveals establish depth against the host masonry or stud wall assembly. Subtle color differentiation demarcates the exterior architrave, internal sash profile, and glass infill, providing crisp graphic delineation in orthographic drawings and rendered elevations alike.

The download is a 225 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a wall-hosted Revit component, the family automatically cuts openings upon insertion into basic wall types. Insert the unit directly in floor plans, elevations, or 3D views, adjusting sill height and vertical alignment relative to host levels. Component subcategories allow precise visibility and graphic overrides for frame, trim, and glazing in construction documentation and BIM coordination views.

Raked and trapezoidal openings frequently feature in contemporary residential architecture, mountain cabins, modern barn conversions, and double-height living spaces where glazing follows the rake of a vaulted ceiling. Architects specifying sloped clerestory windows, gable-end fenestration, or angled transom panels can use this model in schematic facade studies and technical architectural drawing sets, pairing seamlessly with matching rectilinear casements and curtain wall modules.
