Revit :: Can't Put Window In Curved Wall

Mar 6, 2012

I can't put my nested window family in a curved wall. Where the problem could be situated? It has to be a normal straight window so I use my nested window families from other projects. I compared my NWF(nested window family) with the ones autodesk provides with revit but I don't find the difference. The NWF from autodesk work in a curved wall.

Revit :: Voids To Cut Host Wall In Window Family

Feb 16, 2012

I would like to cut a void into the wall of a host window family. When I place a void in the family, it does not cut thought the wall.  
 
I tried making the void on a plane perpendicular and parallel to the wall plane.  I dont know if this has anything to do with how voids work.  But its not working. I also dont have an 'opening' element in the window family.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Style Creation (Window To Cut Only One Portion Of Wall)

Dec 7, 2011

I'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer.  What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window.  Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.

I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.

Revit :: How To Get Wall Sweep Set Up In Type / Structure Properties To Wall Profile Has Changed

Apr 12, 2012

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.

Revit :: Bulkhead Wall Join Skews Bottom Of Existing Wall

Jul 25, 2013

I 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?

Revit :: Arched Hole In Wall And Wall Height

Apr 16, 2013

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.

Revit :: Adding Wall Sweeps To Wall Profile?

Jul 29, 2011

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.

Revit :: Window Frame Depth Changes When Modifying Window Family

Sep 14, 2013

I modified a Window Family file by adding a Window inset parameter. When I inserted the window into a wall, otherwise the window worked fine, but when I changed the window's Window Inset value, the frame depth changed instead of the frame's location. The frame was originally made by Sweep tool, but now when I made it by Extrusion tool, the window works fine. Anyway, for future purposes, I would like to know how to be able to use the Window Inset parameter with a frame made by Sweep tool. How do I lock the depth of the frame sweep?
 
The file is attached.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Align Window Within Wall

Mar 22, 2012

How to reposition window within wall? i have a window put into my basement wall with footing  as shown. unfortunately, the window aligns on the symmetry line of footing itself (as i believe the footing is taken as the overall wall thickness). i want the window to be aligned on the wall/cavity thickness only.

i prefer to have it default in this window or wall style rather than playing around with anchors and other ,,reposition tools'' for each and single window in my basement plan.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Exploding Doors / Window And Wall Objects - Colour

Jan 9, 2012

I'm trying to send a set of drawings for my consultant. They will be using it as a background for their mechanical and electrical drawings and they only need the 2d information. They want to be able to explode them and remove any items they don't need before switching all the layer colours to grey.

When they get the drawings and explode them the doors and walls explode onto the correct layer but the colour of those object and lines are now set to the actual color of the layer rather than colour "bylayer". The line actually take on the colour of the layer in the properties dialogue box. Therefore when they change the colour of the layer to grey the doors remain 'red'.

I would like the doors/walls to stay on their respective layers...AND their colour to be BYLAYER when exploded.
