Parametric Steel and Glass Wall-Mounted Canopy

This wall-mounted parametric canopy is a Revit family featuring a steel structural frame and glass glazing for architectural facade design. The assembly comprises a series of cantilevered steel support beams extending from a primary wall-mounted member, providing the framework for a rectangular glass roof. The design incorporates a regular grid of secondary cross-members that secure the glazing panels in place. The geometry is defined by clean, industrial-style profiles, emphasizing a lightweight aesthetic suitable for modern facade applications. The system is designed for wall-hosted placement, allowing for integration with various building envelope types. Its modular composition ensures consistent spacing between the structural ribs, creating a rhythmic and functional exterior shading solution for entrances or walkways.

The download is a 696 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 family, this canopy is inserted directly onto vertical surfaces within the project environment. Architects can leverage the parametric parameters to adjust the length of the cantilevered beams and the overall width of the assembly to suit specific site conditions. Material parameters are assigned to the steel structure and glass panels, allowing for quick adjustments to surface finishes and transparency settings within the Type Properties dialog. It is recommended to manage the structural and glazing components using separate sub-categories for better visibility control.
