Wall Corner wrap doesn't show in elevation or 3D

[DoTheBIM]

See attachment. Am I expecting too much from Revit for wall wraps of differing materials to show in elevation view? This isn't really an issue for me as I have to model a stone corner in this application anyway, but thought it was odd that this detail in plan view didn't follow to elevations and 3D.

You should be able to get the exterior finish to wrap by setting the Wrapping at Ends type parameter for the wall to Exterior. You also need to be sure that the when defining the structure of the wall the wrap box is checked for that wall layer

That only seems to work when the end of the wall is free rather than a corner. What the plan shows is exactly what I want but the elevation shows the siding overlapping the stone (technically mitered together) which is different than what plan view shows. Seems as though wall joins are only meant for correct plan views, and other views (elevations and 3D are all mitered)

You need to right click on the blue dot grip at the end of the wall and choose to disallow join. If you do it for both walls it should tidy up.

Thanks, Just tried it and now my plan view is messed up. I don't think this is possible to correctly represent in all views with out some detail work in other views. split face with a paint bucket doesn't even work as the split line would have to reside outside the wall outline.

Hi, sorry for reviving a thread from 2007. But I am having the same issue in Revit 2015.

I can get the walls to wrap correctly in plan. I should be able to see the sides of the brick layer in elevation, though, and I do not.

Is it something I am doing incorrectly, or is this a software limitation?

I think the issue is that you're looking at the back of the wall. The brick will show up on the edge but the edge of the brick won't show up on the back of the wall. Hopefully someone has more thoughts than I do but as a work around, you could model a brick wall at the location of the brick edge and then hide that wall in the plan. Might be able to join the walls too so that it will show on the back side as desired.

Is that wall a column with brick cladding or a single wall with wrapping at ends?

Thanks. I resorted to a workaround of doing a split face on the edges at the back wall and painting the brick onto those edges.

Easy enough to do, but I am still curious if a workaround is really necessary.

It is a wall with wrapping at ends.

To be clear about the issue, here is what the wrapped walls look like in 3d. The side edges of the brick do not display on the interior sides of the walls.

Thanks for considering the issue.

Hmmm...

Unless I'm missing something, this looks like expected behavior to me. Wrapping at Ends, Exterior--shows brick.

If you need brick to wrap around further, you can create another wall type with brick on both sides.

[taylor.odell676489]

From my understanding, the edge of the brick isn't showing on the backside of the wall. If that was built in real life, the brick would have a thickness that you would be flush with the concrete and seen from that side.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's the issue.

REVIT will not naturally produce what you want. It simply doesn't handle the wall layers at corners in 3D and elevation consistently when compared to the plan view.
