This timber slat canopy panel with C-channel supports is a Revit family featuring a modular design for exterior shading applications. The assembly consists of a series of parallel timber slats arranged in a rectangular grid, framed by a robust grey steel C-channel perimeter. The design provides a clean, linear aesthetic, typical of contemporary soffit or overhead shading systems. The timber exhibits a warm, natural wood tone, contrasting with the industrial, cool-grey finish of the metal framing. The C-channel profile is clearly defined, wrapping the edges of the slat array to provide structural stability and a finished appearance. This component is designed for precise alignment in architectural assemblies, offering a uniform, rhythmic texture suitable for high-end exterior projects.
The download is a 358 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 intended for use in building models where overhead shading or decorative soffits are required. Users can load this family into project files and host it on structural beams or ceiling planes. The parametric nature allows for adjustment of dimensions to fit specific site requirements. Material parameters are included, enabling users to swap the default wood and steel textures for custom finishes that match the project's specific palette and rendering requirements.
