Hello-
I have need of showing a wall that changes thickness along its length (plan view, not section view). The wall is comprised of steel sheet pile (think metal roof deck except the corrugations and sheets are vertical and much larger, see attached picture) and 12" of concrete. The sheet pile corrugation depth is 12". So the wall thickness goes from 12" to 24" to 12" to 24" and so on.

Is there any way to make a wall type that does this? I have played with reveals and sweeps, but those seem to be only horizontal, not vertical.

Thanks for any help!

No, a wall type technically won't do this. But you could create a sheet pile family and array it along the face of the wall. It will create the same effect and should be incredibly simple to do.

Could you create it as a curtain wall type?
