About this asset

Capped with pitched hip glazing, this modern metal pyramid skylight Revit family introduces natural daylighting through flat roof assemblies. Designed as a low-profile daylighting unit, the skylight features a raised perimeter curb frame supporting four sloping glass panes joined in a clean pyramid geometry. Its extruded frame profiles provide a secure upstand interface against roofing membranes, establishing watertight flashing detailing across standard horizontal roof construction. The multi-faceted transparent glazing configuration maximizes daylight penetration while minimizing internal ponding. The cutaway view illustrates clear structural rough opening coordination, maintaining defined vertical kerb geometry and clean internal reveals beneath the glazed unit.

The download is a 184 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 this native RFA component directly into your Revit project to insert roof daylight openings. Host the family onto horizontal or low-slope roof elements, allowing automated opening cuts through roof finishes and deck layers. Instance parameters and standard family types facilitate rapid alignment across ceiling grids, structural framing bays, or architectural daylighting corridors in roof plans and 3D perspectives.

Ideally applied across contemporary residential extensions, commercial office atriums, retail corridors, and educational lobbies, this rooflight element enhances interior daylighting strategies. It functions effectively above circulation stairwells, deep floorplates, and core bathroom zones requiring overhead illumination. Specifiers searching for hip skylight, pitched glass rooflight, roof curb window, or flat roof lantern units can incorporate this model seamlessly from schematic spatial planning into coordinated construction documentation.
