About this asset

Configured for angled rooflines, this fixed trapezoidal window Revit family features a raked top sash designed for gable and cathedral wall insertions. The window features an asymmetric trapezoidal profile with vertical side jambs, a level sill, and an angled head framing a single fixed pane of glass. A continuous perimeter frame encloses the glazed opening, following the pitch of the raked upper boundary. The geometric layout accommodates an inclined head condition, shown with reference geometry establishing the top slope. Clean, unadorned frame profiles maximise visible aperture area, offering uninterrupted daylighting beneath pitched ceilings, shed dormers, or cathedral gables where orthogonal rectangular glazing cannot cleanly follow the architectural roof plane.

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 family directly into your Revit project and host it within standard vertical wall assemblies. The angled top profile aligns against pitched roofs or sloping ceilings. In elevation and 3D views, adjust instance or type properties to match wall opening dimensions, head pitch, and finish assignments for both frame components and glazed vision panels before generating facade elevations or schedule takeoffs.

Suited to modern residential houses, contemporary mountain chalets, timber frame lodges, and light commercial pavilions, this shaped glazing unit installs in gable-end elevations, double-height living spaces, and attic conversions. Specifiers searching for rake head windows, sloped clerestories, gable glazing families, or architectural shaped windows can coordinate this unit alongside matching rectangular window schedules and curtain wall elements to maintain consistent sightlines across custom envelope assemblies.
