Name Description
Constraints
Level Specifies the level on which to place the soffit.
Height Offset From Level Sets the height of the soffit above or below the level where it is being sketched.
Room Bounding If selected, it means the soffit is part of a room boundary. If not selected, it means the soffit is not part of a room boundary. This property is read-only before creating a soffit. After you draw the soffit, you can select it and then modify this property.
Dimensions
Slope Changes the value of the slope-defining line to the specified value, without the need to edit the sketch. The parameter initially displays a value if there is a slope-defining line. If there is no slope-defining line, the parameter is blank and disabled.
Perimeter Indicates the perimeter of the soffit.
Volume The volume of the soffit. This is a read-only value.
Area The area of the soffit. This is a read-only value.
Identity Data
Comments Comments about the roof soffit.
Mark A label applied to roof soffits. Usually a numeric value. This value must be unique for each soffit in a project. Revit LT issues a warning if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages.
Phasing
Phase Created The phase when the soffit was created.
Phase Demolished The phase when the soffit was demolished.
