About this asset

Designed for clerestory daylighting, this triangular direct set window Revit family features a raked profile with stepped perimeter moulding. A right-angled triangular direct set unit framed by profiled exterior trim and integrated sill detailing. The frame features a multi-tiered exterior casing profile that tapers cleanly into acute corners, surrounding a fixed sheet of insulated architectural glass. Its asymmetrical raked silhouette conforms to sloping rooflines, shedding water along the angled head. Finished in a subtle neutral coat with sealed perimeter glazing stops, the unit balances narrow sightlines with structural support for high-altitude gable installations. Crisp mitred junctions at the lower corner transition smoothly into the horizontal sill plate.

The download is a 461 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 and host it into standard exterior wall assemblies. Adjust sill heights and align the sloped head with adjacent rafter lines or roof pitches in elevation views. The family inserts clean cutouts in multi-layer compound walls, supporting accurate scheduling, coarse-to-fine detail displays, and seamless material parameter mapping for both internal finishes and external cladding treatments.

Suited for contemporary custom residential builds, mountain retreats, A-frame cabins, and modern commercial pavilions, this specialty geometric unit fills gable peaks and cathedral ceiling volumes. Architects specify this style as a raked clerestory window, triangular direct set, or transom infill above standard rectangular casements. It pairs cleanly with matching patio doors, exposed timber trusses, and vaulted interior living spaces during design development and construction documentation phases.
