Hi
I have a very noob question about how walls behave in revit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently entering walls into a floor plan.
Since there is a possibility that wall types will change during the design process, I decided to align all walls by the core center, so even if the wall type changes, the dimensions relative to other elements will stay the same. I tested if this would work in a simple blank model first, and as I expected, it did. I placed two walls 1000mm apart by core center, and no matter what I changed the wall types to, the core-to-core distance stayed the same at 1000mm.
However, as I was working on the real (more complicated) model today, the unwanted happened.
I first drew all the walls using the same ambiguous type, set the core-core dimensions, then started changing the wall types based on the given floor plan.
I expected the dimensions to stay the same after changing the wall types, but it did not...
The first pic shows the before state, and the second shows the after.
I changed the wall type of the wall on the left, and my intention was to change the type but keep the dimension, 1600mm.
But when I changed the wall type, the dimension changed as well to some ugly number.
The dimension is still capturing the core of the new wall type, but I wanted revit to align the core center to the wall type before. (the reference plane in the picture = the core center of the wall type from before)
Any suggestions/ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advance.
