About this asset

Contemporary raked cathedral window Revit family featuring an angled sloping head frame designed to align cleanly with pitched rooflines. Formed with a single trapezoidal glazed opening, the unit features an asymmetrical raked head that ascends steeply to accommodate high-pitched rooflines, vaulted ceilings, and gable ends. A clean, uniform perimeter frame outlines the large single glass pane, supported by a subdivided sill band beneath the base of the frame. The sharp geometric profile tapers continuously from an extended vertical jamb down to a shortened opposite edge, generating an unobstructed glazed aperture that maximises daylight capture while following the architectural pitch of a structure.

The download is a 553 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, load the RFA component into the active project and place it directly into a host wall assembly. The window opening cuts cleanly through multi-layered wall types, enabling straightforward elevation alignment with adjacent rafters or truss chords. Use the family type properties to adjust wall hosting offsets, material finishes, and sill heights to match construction details across drawings and schedules.

Well suited to contemporary residential architecture, mountain chalets, barn conversions, and timber-frame lodges, this raked window fits gable elevations, cathedral living rooms, and double-height mezzanine spaces. It pairs seamlessly with rectangular fixed glazing, sliding patio doors, and exposed rafters. Professionals specifying cathedral glazing, clerestory units, angled head windows, or gable end fenestration will find this component ideal for schematic design and technical building documentation.
