Horse Weather Vane Roof Finial

This traditional horse weather vane is a Revit family roof finial featuring a classic silhouette mounted on a pyramidal base. This decorative roof assembly comprises a stylized horse figure mounted atop a directional weather vane. The unit includes the cardinal direction indicators (N, S, E, W) and a vertical support rod, all set onto a square, pyramidal base designed for roof ridge or pedestal mounting. Proportions are balanced for residential applications, providing a distinct focal point for rooflines. The geometry is clean and simplified, suitable for BIM documentation where a visual representation of heritage or country-style architectural detailing is required. The entire assembly is constructed as a single, cohesive component for ease of placement.

The download is a 522 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 Revit family, this component is designed for placement on roof planes or atop decorative masonry pillars. Users should load the family into the project environment and utilise the host-based functionality to align the base with the roof pitch or mounting surface. The family is lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on model performance. Material parameters can be assigned to the metal components to simulate copper, wrought iron, or painted steel finishes during the rendering phase or for material take-off schedules.
