About this asset

Designed for flat or low-slope roofs, this barrel vault skylight Revit family features a semicircular curved glazed dome on a perimeter curb frame. The component comprises an elongated rectangular footprint surmounted by a continuous semicircular barrel vault rooflight. Solid vertical gable ends terminate the curved profile, while the translucent barrel section admits diffuse overhead daylight. Below the glazing, an integrated raised curb collar provides transition detailing with perimeter flashing flanges angled outward along the roof plane. The proportions emphasise longitudinal light distribution, typical of curb-mounted roof glazing assemblies, making it an effective solution for introducing balanced zenithal daylighting across deep interior floorplates.

The download is a 195 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.

Engineered for use as a native Revit family, this RFA can be loaded directly into architectural project templates. Place the skylight directly on roof elements or curb sub-structures, cutting appropriate deck openings to allow proper light penetration. Glazing transparency and curb material parameters can be adjusted in the family type settings to coordinate visually with realistic view styles and BIM rendering passes.

Suitable for daylighting corridors, circulation spines, library reading halls, and commercial atriums, this unit integrates cleanly into institutional, retail, and contemporary residential roofs. Modelers typically combine this element with flat membrane roofing assemblies, parapet details, and internal light wells. The family answers searches for barrel vault skylight, arched rooflight, curb-mounted daylighting unit, and continuous glazed roof opening.
