Reveals!! Plaster to go up to the frame...

[still.james]

i have done a lot of searching on the forums and found some solutions it seems, but nothings seems to be working how i want.

i have gathered it isnt an easy case of adjusting the wall wraps to achieve what i want, and im gonna need to edit familys which is fine......just something so simple is causing me a headache.

anyone know the solution?

I can't remember when I sorted this but I'm fairly lazy about the wrapping point and normally turn off the cavity closer option in the Revit-provided windows.

Attached shows a standard Revit window with the wrapping turned on for inside and outside where the finishes are moved outside the core boundary in the wall setup.

Unfortunately the finishes stay outwith the actual structural opening but it is near enough most of the time.

I hope that makes sense.

Don't know if this blog post might help?

In your family for the window make sure you have a reference plane(s) established for the exterior and interior faces that you want the material returns to extend to. You can establish dimensional parameters for these planes from the outside faces of the walls, if you want, or if you have window geometry that is controlled by parameters tied to reference planes, that will work also. Make sure the geometry is constrained to the reference planes, however.

In your family, select the reference planes for the exterior and interior material returns, then in the properties for the reference planes, check the box for "Wall Closure". Then reload your family into the project.

In the properties for your wall, under "Wrapping at Inserts" decide which face(s) - "Exterior", "Interior", "none" or "both" you want for the finish to wrap. You also need to determine which layers in your wall are to wrap. The materials you have set within the wall family to wrap will now respond to the wall closure reference planes within your family.

thanks for the help

i kind of took on board the ideas and, well i cheated to get the result i wanted

i edited the window board cut and added a parameter to adjust how much i need.

the result

On a lot of jobs and particularly where drylining is involved, I don't return the finishes into the reveals in 3D but use the Cut Profile tool to extend the linings into the reveals in 2D.

This allows me to use thinner linings into the reveals.

Have you tried using voids, instead of the regular opening?
I use them to get the exterior wrapping different from the interior in openings.
Of course wrapping in sections is another isuue :)
