About this asset

This Revit family provides a traditional terracotta roof ridge profile designed for precise detailing of pitched roof intersections. The profile features a classic semi-cylindrical terracotta ridge tile shape, typical of Mediterranean or traditional clay-tiled roofing systems. It is modelled to sit atop the ridge line of a pitched roof, providing the necessary overlapping connection point where roof planes meet. The geometry is clean and suited for sweep applications along the ridge or hip lines of a roof assembly. Its form is specifically designed to replicate the rounded, durable aesthetic of fired clay units, offering a realistic visual representation for architectural documentation and high-quality 3D visualisations of pitched roof structures.

The download is a 113 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 profile is intended to be loaded into a project or a roof-hosted family. Users typically apply this profile as a sweep along the ridge or hip lines of a roof object. By selecting the profile within the sweep command, you can define the path along the roof apex to ensure accurate geometry. It is essential to ensure the profile orientation is correctly aligned with the roof pitch to maintain realistic material junctions in both plan and section views.

This component is essential for architects and designers working on residential projects that require authentic roof detailing. It is particularly useful for traditional, farmhouse, or Mediterranean-style villa designs where visible roofing materials are key to the overall character. Professionals can use this to enhance the accuracy of roof plans and sections, ensuring the ridge junction is correctly represented. It pairs well with standard clay tile roof materials, allowing for a cohesive building envelope model in both early design and construction documentation stages.
