Does anyone have an idea about modeling double t walls in REVIT? This is a hard subject to search for in the forum, given "t" is shorter than the required minumum of three characters. Any help would be appreciated. That includes pointing the way to other threads.

Thanks in advance. :)

There’s a pre-cast double tee in the library: Structural > Framing > Concrete. You can create a similar DT wall panel as a generic model or a column.

Yeah, that's what I was working on just now. That works ok, I came up with the idea of aligning and locking a string of them together. That way you can move them around as a unit, or I guess you could group them, that might be better. I am also going to investigate using a raling and making the Double Tee Profile as the baluster.

Wish me luck :mrgreen:

Hi Erik-been a while since you posted this thread but I am hoping since then you have had many success with your double tees. I am curious to know if you had luck creating a "grouping" of double tees and were able to adjust them as such.

Also, do you have any experience with adding recesses and/or washes to the double tees once inserted into a project? I am currently stuck here.

You could create the wall as a curtainwall, setting a fixed grid width and creating the panel as a curtainwall panel. I haven't done this myself to know whether you can properly control everything, but this is what comes to mind.
