After watching tutorial on this I was able to make my window to slope with the roof, but can't make it cut the wall for the part I reshaped.

Looks like you forgot to change the opening (or void) in your window family.Company Website: www.deurloobm.nl

Thanks RobinOriginally posted by Robin Deurloo View Post
Yeah... I got it to work after discovering the void was initially created on the side view. Deleted it and created a new opening in the front view.
Can I put a parameter( height or angle) that allows me to change the upper part to match with my roof in case roof pitch is changed or simply to make it more flexible for future use? Eh actually learning and still have to dig more and more.
Thanks again.Comment

No problem, we have all been there.
You can add a parameter to your window to control the height of the top corner or the angle of the sides. just need some ref lines and dimensions. Made a quick example. It is in Revit 2018.
Oh and forgot to say "Welcome to the forum", so Welcome to the forum !

Yes sir, actually I am getting to know how things work in revit. I was able to make this work, but I thing I am not able to figure out what I was asking from the sample opening family you shared. Eether I am missing some thing or you didn't get my question clearly. I was just trying to learn the parameters(variables) I can place in a family, so that I can change those parameters only and see changes. On the opening you posted I was expecting to be able to change the height of the upper triangular part using assigned height or angle parameter. May be I am missing some thing.Originally posted by Robin Deurloo View Post

There is a parameter in the family called angle, you can change that (set it to the same angle as your roof) and the opening changes according to that angle.Company Website: www.deurloobm.nl
