Revit :: Trimming Wall To Roof / Making Horizontal Holes In Walls Created From Mass Face?
Dec 29, 2011
I would like to know whether it is possible (and how) to trim a wall that was generated from mass face to a roof (also generated from face mass) or/and make a horizontal hole in it. The wall itself is not straight or curved, it shifts outwards from the building from base to top (still in an elevation it looks like rectangle).
I am using AutoCad Architecture 2011. In the Style Manager, I created a wall style using a 8"CMU unit plus a 2" insulation board. I have a gable roof slab that intersects with the wall. I want to trim the insulation board along the bottom of the roof slab, and show the CMU above the roof slab.
I want to turn my in-place mass walls (sloped or helical) to structural walls but i don't know how to do it. I'm able to do the walls but when i switch it to the analytical view the wall doesn't appear because it's not structural. It's there a way to do in-place mass structural walls.
I am currently doing an MEP project and I am tidying up the model at present. I am having problems attaching the walls to the roofs. There could be a simple solution but I haven't found it yet !
I have tried attaching top base etc. but its not working. I only seem to be able to select one side of the roof when selecting where to attach the walls. I have attached 3d pics showing the walls that are extruding & also one of the walls that I am trying to attach.
I have this weird problem in Revit 2013. My walls that used to be joined with or intersected with other walls (now moved/ deleted) still bear holes/cuts in them matching the walls that joinded/intersected with them. I've tried to shorten the length beyond the holes and then extending the wall again, but as soon as the wall extends beyond the same point, the hole appears in it. Even when you delete the wall and draw a new one, the hole reappears exactly in the same area of the new wall, like there's an invisible wall intersecting it. There is no hidden wall there...I checked. The only way to remove the hole is to move the wall away from the area, which I can't anyway. What's the cause of this?
I am trying to align the curtain wall with the edge of the concrete slab/face of wood framed wall (Core). I have tried to align and move however the whole wall moves as well as the edge of the slab. How I can move the Curtain wall leaving the other elements in place?
I keep getting a Revit warning 'Highlighted walls are attached to, but miss, the highlighted targets.' when I try and attach part of a long wall, spanning between gables, to the underside of roof eave. I must emphasise that this happens on a long wall where I have edited the profile to create three step levels each with a roof on them. Parts of this wall do attach to their respective length of roof but others don't. I wonder if this is something to do with the wall's height parameter, which is the same for the whole length of the wall but will have differing distances to the edited profile?
In the file attached, there's a wall roof window joint showing the following problem: It seems like the window interferes with the joint, so that it isn't right, if the window is not situated higher than the roof slab. In the picture, the joint on the left side is correct, but the ones on the left are incorrect.
I know I can probably overdraft this in 2-D; but is there a way to clean this up?I'd like to stop the inside finish surface of the roof element, inside the building (horizontal pine boards).I tried the similar trick like a wall base extension; didn't seem to work. (?)I'd like to have the rafter to top-plate seat cut out of the rafter also.
I am drawing up my house in Revit to get use to the software. I created my house, and now my garage. I selected to create a roof by footprint but when I tried to join the roof to the adjacent wall, the overhang does not follow. I then selected the overhang to join to the adjacent wall but an error pops up: "Part of the roof to be joined misses the target face."
I attached a PDF of the roof.Also, you will notice a line that separates the two walls I joined together. I may separate them but how do I avoid this if I want to make one solid wall?
As for the wall selection, I have vinyl siding and would like to use properties that relate when selecting my exterior walls. I do not see anything regarding that besides wood siding. I thought that should be in my properties when I downloaded and purchased the software.
how to create a wall that infills the gable between two levels of the same roof. There is no internal wall below this location - so this would be some sort of lightweight studwork and panelling rather than brick.
Exist a way to Attach the top of the wall in a element that is not a floor or roof. I have a wall under a stair and i want to make de top of the with a slope.
I am trying to get my drawings into revit but I am stuck on getting the basic form of the building in Revit.
Since I am using slanted walls I need to work with a Mass but I can't get the mass look like my idea. The picture I attached is a simple screen capture of Rhino with the outline of the building.
I have an exterior wall with plaster and lathe on the exterior, and gyp board on the inside. When I edit the wall structure, and modify the layers so that I can take the interior wall finish only up to the sheathing line, the wall does not join at the corners properly. It leaves a gap for the interior fininsh at a corner above the sheathing line when looking in 3d. What are you all doing with parpet walls and the interior finishes above the roof line?
Our model uses several material types for insulation, mostly rigid variations at this point. The various materials are used in floor, wall and roof systems. Is there a way to create a single schedule that would list insulation quantities across all three system types?
I 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.
We r used to have a center line for each separate wall not just for dimension or placing but even visible after plotting and in each view including section , whether it is a structural or partition wall or ... etc , I am new to revit and i fell in love with the software right away, how to display wall center line in views , the only way i found out how to do it is either by drawing model lines or grid lines which will be so dreadful and time consuming if u have 1250 walls in the project . doing it automatically perhaps to be a part of the wall proprieties
I am trying to export my floor plan to dwg file and I have curtain wall there which have panels as regular wall types. The problem is that exporting it will put those panels on the wall layer. I need them to be on curtain wall panel layer. I tried to use "Function" parameter in wall family by changing certain wall types to Retaining (since I don't use this parameter) and changed Wall/Retaining category layer to curtain panel in dwg export setup. But it seems it has no effect.I also noticed that walls inserted as panels into curtain wall do have a parameter under "Identity Data" with the name "Categorize as" where are two values - wall or panel. But this does not have any effect either since there is no category for it in export setup.
I have some families in a project such as sinks and cabinets that are wall hosted, but when I try to place them on the existing walls of the linked file they do not go there. Is there a setting to get around this?
What I am trying to do is to model a roof using Revit Lt so that the roof tiling and battens carry on over the gable wall. Is it possible to add a void profile to the roof slab in order to achieve this or do I need to model a small section of roof to just cover the wall portion?
I am trying to create wall by faces of a Mass I modelled.
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.
[URL]
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.
I would like ask if I create wall from mass by using wall by face. However, the walls have slope and they are not connected to each other.
(Please see the picture) When I would like to edit wall only option shows in modify is update to face. Do they have any way to edit this wall as normal?
I have done my studs for my wood frame, However, under blocking, when I tick "generate horizontal elements" and select OK, it tells me that there are identical instances in the same place, this will result in double counting in schedules.
