I created a wall via RECTANGLE/PRESSPULL to a desired height. But I need to be able to increase the height of one corner of the wall. Not quite sure how to do this.
On the attached picture, corner A needs to remain where it is, while corner B needs to be 3' higher.
I am using the RetainWallVertical subassembly with a created gutter subassembly attached to the wall and a DaylightGeneral subassembly attached to the gutter assembly. My cut slope parameter is set to hold at 1.5:1. I would like to use a target (feature line or alignment) to daylight to and have the wall height adjust accordingly. Problem, I am not able to use a target other than a surface for daylighting. I can use my existing ground surface, which I am daylighting too, but I can't adjust the target point.

I have an opening in the Master Bedroom that leads to the bathroom. This wall has a weird arched-like opening in it and I have no clue how to make this in Revit. I have attached a sketch.
Also, my exterior walls are 7' tall but the interior walls start at 7' and go up to 8' once in the middle of the house and reduce back to 7". How does one set that up in Revit?
EDIT: May have made the image too small to see, but the top is not arched, it is actually half of a decagon.
I'm really enjoying the new command auto-complete suggestions list in ACAD2012, it allows me to discover new ProSteel commands which are otherwise undocumented.
I've just started going though the list (typing "PS_" and allowing it to suggest all commands beginning with "PS_" - which are ProSteel commands), and have realised that the task would be a lot easier if it were possible to increase the height of the suggestions list (say from 7 to 15 or more).
See screenshot attached. Any way to achieve this - maybe with a registry edit or something?

How do i increase the dimension text height in my drawing.When i go thro the styles and standards editor and increase the text height all the text in my sheet border also increases.Surely there must be a way to isolate the dimension text from the sheet text.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw a wall in plan that has Wood Timbers in the corner. The problem im having is that if i use a Body Modifier it puts dark heavy lines within the wall. And Plan modifiers don't seem to be working. I tried to use an interference condition and that also did not do the trick.
I tried to force a cleanup and that did not work either.

Part of the design for vinyl siding includes corner trim pieces, it's a standard application. We would like to show that in our models, how to creat a vertical sweep. Is there any way to add a small piece like this in a wall type? It must extend the full height of the wall, and appear only at the corners.
Also, in many of our models, we employ a dutch gable roof style on the front with a wood shingle facade. On the top of the shingles are vertical metal battens spaced evenly from top to bottom. I am wondering/ hoping if there might be a way to add this feature (battens) to a wall type.
I have the general outline and form of my building designed but I'm having problems with patterned curtain walls.
I have created my own Patterned Curtain wall Family and applied it to a conceptual mass, I have not added any parameters as I'm not too familiar with this aspect of Revit. The corners of the building do not align allowing viewing straight into the interior.
I have attached the model in my dropbox so you can fully understand my problem..

I am also interested in applying glass to some of the hexagon patterns instead of steel to act as windows. At the moment I'm just turning the transparency up on individual patterns .
We recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad. We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans. I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.
I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"
and
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address D41218AEh"

1.I’m wondering why the cells of the table don’t respond as a particular value is typed for them.
2.Also, If all cells are selected to be given a particular height/width then they don’t respond as well.
3.Originally, the inserted table doesn’t respect the value of width assigned for it!

I am trying to create a wall tag to do the following also see attached PDF:
Tag designation (text and number) generated from wall style (wallstyles:type) and be annotative.
Tag has 2 lines forming an L that I would like to preset (12" by the text and 18" long) but have the capability to be stretched/stretchable later on.
Tag has grip hand similar to doors which enables it to be attached to walls but doesn't change placement when wall is extended/trimmed/ moved or wall tag generates information from the wall it touches but if the wall moves the tag would stay but show and error or "X".
It didn't sound so difficult in my head but writing it down makes it seem very difficult. Anyways is this possible or any source to some step by step directions for creating a tag like this?
Im looking for any auto cad course especific in how to build wall panels.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a banner heading that is more or less outlined text. I want to give all the corners a rounded corner and at the moment would just do it all by hand, one at a time. So I want to go from a to b:
But I would like to find an easy way to make all corners the same diameter regardless of the angle too.
I have used Autodesk products in the past, but I have never had this much trouble making a single wall. There are no scroll bars to move my view in the blue prints, keyboard arrows don't work, and there appears to be no way to change the cursor type so I can select and drag the viewing area. Is there some trick to it? When I drag the mouse it just highlights everything. This is especially annoying when I am just trying to change the orientation to see what is already made.
I am trying to begin with a very simple project: A deck. All I want to do is draw two original brick walls and then begin with a wood frame construction to place against it, but I also can't even seem to make a single right angle with this. When one wall length is finished it wants to position itself at 15 degre angles, but not in relation to the wall it is connected to. It sets those angles in relation to the compass direction which results in an inability to make even a single square. This means that even though the original wall I am building onto faces a South west 340 degree direction I pretty much have to disregard the presence of a compass and assume North is "top" which is pretty sloppy and makes me question why a compass is even present.
With a north orientation I can get right-angles without any problems, but the mouse is too sensitive and if I type in a length before clicking to create the wall the size ends up much longer than what I define. I can create it, select it, and then define the length, but I can't seem to define which side it expands from and I can't seem to find a toggle to keep a connected wall snapped in place or even to manually move that wall.
Also: When attempting to insert an opening into the wall at a specific point in the wall there appears to be no option to manually define (with text) it's position in that wall. There is a graphical method, but no matter where I put it on that wall it snaps to the far end. It's an existing wall with an existing opening.
Attaching the draw.
The top transom (beam) has to be cut on 2 levels degree : inout as the circle diameter , and up and down as the slope . I made the drawing with the SWEEP command of a 2D transom view along a line, but the result is not good To get the dimensions of manufacturing, it is good as a general "simulation". How can i do it more accurate?, or it is a big task for the autocad?
In Autocad Architectural 2012 if I typed 'wall' I would get several options for walls. If I selected 'A' (add) it would bring up the properties panel and draw the necessary walls. This does not work in Architectural 2013. Where to I access the wall/window/door pallet?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to find out when and where it's ocuring. I took measurements of a large room and modeled it in Autocad 2014. The solids I used are rather simple, mostly just boxes with some boolean unions and substractions here and there. I then took pictures of every wall, perspective-corrected them, imported each of them to Autocad as material, assigned the real size to the picture material and applied those materials to the corresponding wall faces. Planar mapping proved to be adequate in all cases and mostly mapped correctly on the first go.
The project was completed and saved. To my horror most of the material mappings had just gone the next time I opened the project. It was just as if I had never applied any material mapping or texture to the faces.
After partially appliying the damned material mappings and materials (textures) again I tried to determine under what circumstances the mappings get lost. Its not allways the same walls. The bug seems to occur randomly on various geometry and at various times. Sometimes the mappings get lost after opening the project, sometimes the get lost on the fly when isolating (hiding) geometry. There is no way I can get the room to look as I want it to look as there will allways be some wall that has become default-grey again, randomly (either while working or after opening up the project again).
I really expect Autocad to be rock solid after so many program versions. Did I do something wrong? How would you go about applying textures of inividual walls to wall-faces? Or is Autocad just crap regarding heavy use of textures because that is not the average use-case?
I draw square. The 1st point and last points are left-top and finally set 5 points.The direction is clock-wise and made closed path.To get smooth-curved polygon shape, I used API 'PointsToCurves'.But, the first and last points are connected by cornered (not smooth) point. Here's result.
Maybe, I must set that square is closed path, to API, but it seems to be no parameter to set.So, I want to know how to get smooth corner shape every corner.I use SDK CS5.
how to apply a filter to a Floor Plan to color code my Walls by Unconnected Height for coordination purposes?
I want to disseminate which walls are currently modeled to deck and which ones stop short so I can selectively coordinate this.

Why does Revit allow me to schedule the Length of a Wall, but not it's Height - am I missing something?
