I am trying to create a new wall type. Being a double t structural wall. Almost every family in My project can be edited except for the walls. I can create all the types i want but that changes a regtangular wall. I am unable to figure out how to add the double t profile to a wall. I have tried doing curtain walls i have tried doing storefront walls. I can create a double t wall panel and can add each 10' piece individually but i would like it to work as a wall works for quick and easy drawing instead of having to add each 10' piece in my 300' wall. does anyone know how to do this? even in the family parameters section of the family editor i can not give it an omni classification of regular or structural wall.

the wall family is a system family and this limits what you can do sometimes, I have seen where others have made a wall sweep profile in shape of double tee and applied it vert. to face of wall, but then you would have to array it for the length of wall. Or make a double tee column family and array this for the length of wall.
There maybe a way to add the array function to a family, I know the truss families do this for panel points. But this would not work with wall element.
The Revit wall family editor allows you to place sweeps in horiz. direction, maybe in the future vert. sweeps will be added..?
