In the included image, the main wall is a long two story wall, which will have two of the bump-outs. As I see it there are two approaches to this wall. I can have one single double height wall, with the 'holes' addressed via Edit Profile. Or I can have a segment of single floor wall on either side of the bump-out. And two more segments on the floor above, plus a 'header' segment above the bump-out. At two bump-outs on this single face, that is eight little pieces of wall rather than one wall with two 'profile edits'. Also, I have three wall types here. The main wall includes both exterior and interior finishes. Then there is an 'Exterior Bump-out' type that needs to cleanup with the exterior finishes, and an 'Interior Bump-out' that needs to cleanup with the interior finishes at the hole. This part seems to not work well with the single wall/edited profile approach.
I am wondering what people's experience has been with these two approaches, especially vis-a-vis a newly minted Revit team and a fast track schedule. Simplicity seems like a good idea, but lots of Profile Edits seems like a bad idea. And not getting good wall cleanups is a bummer.
For what it is worth, there will be three or four bump-outs on each of three buildings in the one model. but never more than two bump-outs on a single wall.
Thanks for any insight.
