I am trying to create a cornice using a wall sweep. I created the profile I need but when I load the profile and try to add the sweep to the wall Revit shuts down completely.
View 1 RepliesI have a question about wall profiles. I want to make a profile on a wall so I can make Zinc Panels on the wall that are 10" X 20". I've attached a picture of what I'm going for. I'd like it to have a 1/2" spacing between them and with a joint depth of 1" and I'd like to do this is the wall type so that I can use this wall in multiple places rather than having it model-in-place. Anyway I have made a profile that is 1" X 10" so that it can become my panel profile. But when I go to add it to the wall as a wall sweep as I have seen people do I get hung up on how to make it tile up the wall and also I don't understand how to make the profile so that it is 20" wide. I have a screen shot of where I'm editing this too. Below is the link of the site.

However, at a point along the length of the wall, the wall will have an arch along the top of it. I tried adjusting the profile of the wall, but the parapet (wall sweep) does not conform to the curve of the wall.How would you model a curved wall with a cornice.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm, trying to update my wall profile so that all of my interior walls have baseboard/molding on them. I've been successful in creating a wall profile with molding, but only on one side. Looks like this in plan view. (Molding is highlighted and only on one side.)So, I first try to update my wall profile like this:
And I either duplicate, or add another sweep to the wall, and make that "Exterior" as to be on the "other" side of the wall.However, after pressing "OK" and "OK" at the wall profile editing box, I get the following error box:
When I click on "Show", I'm shown nothing. When I click on "Enjoin Elements", this same box comes up no matter how many times I click on the "Enjoin Elements" button.
Having problems adding molding to both sides of their interior walls? Am I going about this the right way? Tried to smallify the actual .rvt file, but I can't get it down to an acceptable size for posting here.

This is the Mass: [URL]
Everytime I try to create a wall by face of one exactly face, it accept Location Line: By Finish Face Interior only, when I try to change ANY other Location Line, it gives me a message error.

And it is always from the SAME FACE highlighted at the picture.
The mass was made by the floors and top edges. I select all of the edges and create a mass from down to top.
All the other faces are ok and they accept the wall by face and let them change the Location Line except this one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a sloped wall by creating a mass in-place. First I draw a line on a surface at a pre-determined level that I've set up in elevation. Then I offset this line in the vertical plane. My next step is to offset this second line so that it is not directly above the original line, but offset in the horizontal plane. How do I change from a vertical to a horizontal offset? I’ve tried different work planes, but they all offset vertically.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a custom curtain wall which will contain vertical strapping for the vertical mullions and horizontal wood boards. I created the two profiles and am able to create the curtain wall type control spacing etc...This looks great in elevation and plan, but when I cut a section detail the vertical strapping is cut at every horizontal mullion.
My question in short! If I want to create the look of continuous horizontal boards how can I prevent the vertical mullions from being cut? I'd rather not offset them apart so I can use this model element in details. See the section detail view attached.
Any way to get a wall sweep that's set up in the type/structure properties to follow a wall if that walls profile has changed. For example, in the image below, I've split the wall and adjusted it's profile to create some cheesy angled parapet. How do i get my wall cap to follow along? I thought splitting it and changing it's height would work, but no. And if I change the profile without splitting the wall the wall cap just runs right through the wall, as if the profiel was never even changed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to draw a bulkhead wall that connects to a full height wall and a gyp bd ceiling. This causes the entire end of the full height wall to skew in line with the butt joint above the ceiling level. I tried Wall Joins but all the options screw up the bottom half of the wall which needs to remain in line with the paired opposite. I also tried editing the sketch of the wall profile but Revit couldn't keep the elements joined. I tried trimming the two walls back together afterwards but the wall profile dominates and prevents a clean join above the ceiling.
Surely there's a way to have different kinds of joins at different heights?

I am trying to make a floorplan of my house in Revit 2013, but I am having an issue when it comes to one wall in my house. 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedShort story is I made a wall sconce from scratch but I can't see the symbolic lines in my ceiling plan in the project.
I needed a linear wall sconce for a client presentation based on one of theirs already installed. The manufacturer doesn't provide BIM for this model so I had make my own. I haven't bothered with photometrics. At this point all I need is a placeholder for the ceiling plan and a 3D model for a hidden line view. I used the wall based light fixture family. There was a plane elevation but no apparent parameter so created one and called it 'mounting height'. After about ten minutes of modeling (and over an hour of tedious aligning, dimensioning and locking of the sketches to keep the model from distorting with changes in wall thickness) I opened the ceiling reference level plan and drew some symbolic lines to represent the fixture on the ceiling plan in my project.
Here's what happened.
The symbolic lines for the CPRL (Ceiling plan in the family editor) are also visible in the FPRL. I don't know why this is and there doesn't appear to be a way to hide them in just one plan. I suspect it's because both are at the same height (the reference level.) I tried changing the working plane before drawing the symbol lines to another plane above the reference level and out of its view range but it had no effect. I can still see them in the floor plan.When I loaded it into the project nothing appeared and I got the message about 'no elements are visible because yada yada'. The symbolic lines didn't show up at all. I checked the detail level and that wasn't it. As far as I can tell the view range for the CPRL and the RCP in my project are the same. They don't show up in the project floor plan either. The sconce is visible in 3D views so it's definitely in there. I tried monkeying with the height of the symbolic lines like I stated in part 1. but it had no effect on there visibility. Symbol lines are visible in other families so it can't be an issue with visibility overides.In my project I noticed there's a parameter for the fixture called 'Elevation'. Changing it moved the fixture up and down on the wall. Changing the 'mounting height' parameter in the project had no effect! This parameter worked fine in the family editor. Playing with the 'Elevation' parameter and the cut plane elevation brought the symbolic lines into view. Apparently the symbolic lines are only visible when the cut line is passing through the sconce. Unfortunately my sconce needs to be mounted at 6 ft and my cut plane is at 7'2 to avoid cutting doors and windows. How do get these symbolic lines to display?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Inventor R11, SP2 why :
(1) Why can't you use the Sweep command with a 3D sketch?
(2) Why can't you draw circles in the 3D sketch environment? What do you do if you need to sweep a cut with a circular profile along a 3D sketch line?
In any event, how do does one use the numerical offset to offset an exterior wall and achieve the new offset wall to be in the correct orientation and location, i.e. exterior brick on the exterior and interior gypsum board on the interior?
