Hi,

Could anyone recommend how I would create the attached wall type.

Example 1 shows the standard wall (as used around most of the building).
Example 2 shows an unusal variation of the wall that happens at a corner.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Paul

Looks like you're putting a door in a perpendicular wall such that the frame is butted right up against the other wall. If you have 2 walls at that location (one has to host the door) and then set the exterior stone to wrap at inserts, it should work as you illustrated.

If you get this to work I'd love to see your Revit file - I've not done much with wall wraps and this looks like a very informative experiment.

Well it's not exactly the same, but it looks pretty darn close... close enough that the detail could be handled in, well... the details. :)

All I did was set the wall wrapping to exterior at inserts, and then align the door to the perpendicular wall, and change the door's inset and frame depth dimensions.

Thats pretty damn good and it is perfect for what I need. The solution is so simple when you see it already done.

Thanks for your help - I really appreciate it!
