Hi
I imported a rhino model as a mass element, and have now added "wall by face" to all faces exept to two horizontal faces.
I'm not really interested in creating a similar roof type, but would like to continue using the wall on these faces (the rhino model sketches a secondary "sculptural" skin)
But apparantly it is not allowed to create a horizontal wall...

Any ideas

I've never seen a wall that is horizontal; that would be called a slab.
Try "Floor by face" instead.

Roof, ceiling, floor, or soffit should all work. Typically a horizontal interior assembly built the same as the vertical wall assembly would be a soffit, but for that I would use a ceiling. Soffits are generally used with roofs in Revit (and are accessed by clicking the down arrow below the Roof tool).

Floor wont wont work as the two above wrongfully are assuming, but a roof by face will work.
Why dont you want to make it as a roof? A horizontal slab will have different properties than a vertical one anyway.
