About this asset

This Revit family provides a traditional terracotta corner roof tile designed for precise hip and eaves detailing in BIM projects. The Beirado Canto is a specialized ceramic roofing component engineered for finishing the exterior corner of a pitched roof. It features a distinct semi-cylindrical profile with a flared base, specifically shaped to accommodate the convergence of two roof slopes at a hip. The piece is finished in a classic matte terracotta tone, replicating the aesthetic of traditional fired clay tiles. Its geometry includes a central ridge line that radiates outward, providing a clean, watertight finish for the roof edge. The underside is hollowed to fit standard roof substructures, ensuring a consistent architectural profile.

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.

As a native Revit family, this component is best utilized by loading it directly into a project environment to detail roof edges. Users can place the tile on the roof surface or attach it to a modeled roof assembly using standard alignment tools. It is ideal for documenting hip conditions where standard tiles cannot provide a finished corner. The geometry is lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on model performance while providing the necessary visual detail for exterior elevations and 3D perspectives.

This corner tile is essential for residential projects, particularly those featuring Mediterranean, colonial, or traditional vernacular architectural styles. It is designed for use in the documentation phase, allowing architects to accurately represent roof edge conditions and drainage details. Professionals working on heritage restoration or high-end residential developments will find this asset useful for achieving realistic roof finish schedules. It pairs effectively with standard clay tile roof systems, providing a finished, professional look for hip intersections, eaves, and roof corners in BIM models.
