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.
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 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.

All I have done right now is added some cracks coming out of the object, but I just made the object black and put it on top of the wall, so it doesn't look like a hole, more like a sticker. Anyway, any suggestions on how to make it more realistic looking? I was thinking I might need to somehow randomize the outline of the object to make it look like it cracked through the wall,

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 Relatedare there any other analysis tools available to find the minimum internal wall thickness in a part? I'm aware of the cross-section tool, but that only analyzes an area the user has already noticed. In a prismatic part with several cross-holes and features (cavities), it could be easy to miss a thin spot that could give up under internal pressure just by 'eyeballing' the part with Hidden Edges turned on.
I guess I could try the 'unground and move the part thru a sectional plane' trick, but I think it would be too haphazard, especially if the weak point is not thru a principal plane.
Is there a tool I'm missing or maybe something that has been added in newer releases? Maybe this is too much analysis to ask of a modeling package.
