Real 3d walls - no wrappings

[dpasa]

I want to make some walls with no wrapping, that means to be able to see them as a stacked wall but horizontally. There is no way to do that in Revit as I can see.
So, if we can't have the width of materials, how else can I get the wall I need?

i do not understand your requirement...could you please explain?

You can use a section box in 3d view to cut your wall and see your wall layers.....see attached. Hope this is what you were looking for.

OK, let me say this again...
I want to see the width of the materials at the end. Let's say that I have a concrete wall 20cm and I put a decorative brick 5cm on it. So, at the end of the wall I see a total width of 25cm where I can see 5cm of brick and 20cm of concrete. NOT when cutting the wall as Joshua says.
You can't have this in Revit, no matter what wrapping condition you select. Can you?
There is nothing more simple and real than this wall. That's why I say that it is like stacked walls but horizontally.I want to clearly see the misc materials at the end of the wall,Also, if for example I have a third layer of plaster next to the concrete layer, I should be able to decide to wrap the concrete layer with plaster but not the brick layer. I hope it's more clear now.

Have you tried to draw the wall in pieces. IE: One wall is 20cm of Concrete while a separate wall is 5cm of Brick? Then draw them next to each other.

for it's worth:
I use the Paint tool in case where one layer becomes visible (i.e. brick veneer at window and doors)
and use the Split Face tool in the rare occasions where more than one layer is visible.

Yes, this works of course but for 1-2 walls, not as a method of modeling an entire building

The only way I know of is to use the split face and paint tools on the wall ends in question. In other words, I agree with Eddy's method. Not very BIM is it.
