About this asset

Designed for pitched rooflines, this fixed pentagonal window Revit family features a gable-top profile with symmetric sloped head framing in Revit. The family comprises a five-sided pentagonal window geometry tailored for gable wall placement. It features vertical side jambs, a horizontal sill, and two angled top rafters meeting at a central apex ridge. A continuous perimeter frame wraps a single planar glazing lite, providing clean sightlines without intermediate mullions or transoms. The geometry is oriented vertically with mirrored roof-slope angles, designed to follow standard gable roof pitches. Rendered in family preview with a red-toned perimeter casing and pale blue vision glass, the geometry maintains clean planar faces suitable for crisp architectural documentation.

The download is a 256 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.

Load the RFA component directly into an architectural Revit project and host it into any standard vertical wall assembly. Elevation and 3D views reflect the sloped head profile accurately, facilitating coordinate alignment with roof overhangs or cathedral ceilings. Users can adjust hosting heights, align reference planes to matching rafter lines, and assign project-specific materials to frame and glass subcategories through the element type properties.

Ideal for residential architecture, timber cabins, modern farmhouses, and loft conversions, this specialty opening suits gable-end walls beneath vaulted ceilings. It serves effectively as a high-level clerestory or feature glazing element in double-height living rooms, master bedroom suites, and attic studios. Modelers frequently search for gable window, pitched roof window, pentagon window, and clerestory glazed unit when coordinating fenestration schedules and detailing exterior envelope elevations in working drawings.
