how do you slant a wall?

[Bluefairy]

I tried to rotate a wall in section view so that it would slant, but it does not rotate.... Anyone have any idea on how to slant a wall?

[jsteinhauer]

only way I know how is to host it to a mass.

Cheers,

This has been on the Wishlist for many years now, and this question has come up hundreds of times.

The current method is to create a Mass with a slanted face, and then use Wall by Face. This works pretty well for overall building form (large scale, exterior walls) but when you have lots of slanted walls and bulkheads at ceilings, using Masses and Wall by Face is very cumbersome. You can create a slanted wall as an in-place family, and make sure you give it the Wall Category under Family types--but using lots of in-place families is not recommended either. So---get the tweets and Wishlist requests flying and maybe some day we will finally get the Tilt Wall Tool. Don't get your hopes up for Revit 2014, however......................

Wait...........We DID get the Tilt Wall Tool in Revit 2014! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will do that once we are able to truly rotate any item in Revit... (in and out of the plain)
