Adjustable 3-Point Roof Cricket

This adjustable 3-point roof cricket is a Revit family component designed for precise water diversion on flat or low-slope roof systems. The component features a triangular, wedge-shaped geometry engineered to divert water away from roof penetrations, such as chimneys or ventilation stacks. The three-point adjustment mechanism allows for flexible positioning and pitch matching across various roof substrates, ensuring a seamless fit against existing slopes. Constructed with a clean, utilitarian form, the object is represented with a neutral grey finish suitable for standard architectural documentation. Its primary function is to provide an efficient, slope-correcting solution that integrates directly into the roof assembly, helping to prevent ponding and water ingress at critical roof intersections.

The download is a 154 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.

Users can load this family directly into a Revit project and place it onto a roof surface or host it as a face-based component. The adjustable parameters allow for rapid height and angle modifications to suit specific site conditions or roof pitches. By adjusting the three control points, the geometry can be adapted to align with the existing roof drainage path. It is recommended to use this in conjunction with standard roof assembly layers to ensure accurate material quantities and drainage calculations.
