About this asset

This square metal chimney shroud is a Revit family featuring a classic hipped roof profile for precise roof detailing in BIM projects. This square chimney shroud features a traditional design with a hipped roof cap and a segmented body. The base is solid, supporting a central section with recessed vertical panels that mimic architectural openings. The overall form is clean and geometric, providing a finished look for residential chimney stacks. Its symmetrical construction ensures it fits standard square masonry or metal flue enclosures. The proportions are balanced, suitable for integration into pitched roof designs where a decorative yet functional termination is required to protect the chimney flue from weather elements while maintaining a consistent aesthetic.

The download is a 307 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.

In Revit, this family should be placed as a roof-hosted component or set to the appropriate roof level elevation. Users can adjust the base dimensions to align with specific chimney stack widths. Because this is a standard RFA file, it is best managed by assigning specific material parameters to the metal surfaces for accurate rendering in project views. Ensure the family is placed on a dedicated sub-category to allow for visibility control within site plans and roof elevations.

This component is ideal for residential architectural projects, particularly those focusing on traditional or historical styling where chimney aesthetics are critical. It is frequently employed during the design development and construction documentation phases to provide realistic roof detailing. Architects and designers can use this to enhance the visual quality of exterior renderings and roof plans. Search for this asset when detailing chimney terminations, roof-mounted architectural features, or when refining the upper profile of masonry stacks in BIM models.
