wall and tilted window

[trespass2003]

Hello everyone, it is a month that I use revit 2010, I should create a tilted wall and insert a window that follows the same inclination of the wall. (like the photo attached)

I tried through local model component or local mass volumetrics, succeeding in creating a tilted wall but limiting the changes of the wall, that is: I can no longer associate the tilted wall to the roof, I can not increase the height of the wall, I can not change the inclination of the wall, I can not insert openings in the wall, and if I insert a window it does it vertically.

You can give me two straights.
Thank you.

the wall is a system family so you can only:

create new types by changing parameters
create a local model
realize it by mass

In your case, I think it's good the second... .
You basically need to shape everything. .
draws the wall as an extrusion on the path then draws a plane and rotates it so that it has the right inclination (that of the wall) set it as a working plane and use it to pierce the wall and draw the elements that make up the window that you will also create as a local family....in fact this would be better to create it as a .rfa you could create it as a surface-based family or draw the geometry on a reference line (starting from the window) . .

I can no longer associate the wall tilted to the roof

you must draw it already of the right height the local models do not lend themselves to the "instant review"

I cannot increase the height of the wall, I cannot change the inclination of the wall

the changes by changing the profile of the route extrusion

Hello lance,
Thank you for answering me.
in creating the wall as an extrusion on the path I don't think I have big problems, but in what concerns creating a window.rfa specific for inserting on tilted walls "is Chinese for me", (I learn revit alone, I realized that the creation of families is fundamental to revit, but at the moment I am not able),
If I don't ask you much about the window I see in your image, you could pass it on or if you have a base to work on.. .
thanks again to your precious advice
Hi.

Sorry the delay in the answer but I was away from the operating post he he....

The window unfortunately I can't pass because it's a local model I designed to show you that the operation was feasible. ...

If you haven't already done, put your doubts so let's see if I can help you:finger:

Hello lance,
thanks for your availability, I have problems with the creation of the wall,
because if I use a local model and design the wall as an extrusion on the path I can no longer associate it with laminated walls. . .
while I tried to create a mass with a tilted side and then I attributed it to the laminated wall... I do, but it does not allow me to insert openings, only vertical windows. .
What do you think?
how can I create the layered tilted wall and then how did you mention creating a tilted window family?
Thank you.

Leaving the creation of a specific family, draw it in place.
creates a hole in the window size wall.
commands:
start>component»local model
select the window category and assign a name
select the command: extrusion on path> select path and with the mouse select the hole perimeter. confirmation.
a red point appears on the selected perimeter.
then select the command : edit profile and place yourself in a view orthogonal to the perimeter (eg a section) with the help of the red point (origin) drawings ul profile (frame) of the window (e.g.: a rectangle 5x5). assigns the material parameter to the same.
confirm everything.
at this point there should be a hole frame (frame).
repeat the same operations applied to the perimeter of the frame (inside), this time selecting as a path one side, to insert the glass.
the profile you will draw (glass) will be equal to the length orthogonal to the selected path, with a thickness of a few mm.
before confirming the "profile" of the glass, select the profile and move it in the frame half-work.
assigns the glass a parameter of material and saves everything.
