Wall Styles

[michael91077]

In the example I am posting, we have a wall style that has our 7" Conc. 3" Foam Insuation and 2" Concrete on the interior. These are tilt up walls, so anywhere there is an exposed edge, there will be exposed insulation. Is there a way in Revit to make the insulation stop short, by 1 foot, or any other amount, when drawings in the wall. Do all the components of the wall style have need to be the same length?

Yes, looking in plan view, all the layers from the same wall need to be the same length (although you can have different height for layers by unlocking them in a section view when editing the wall properties).

That said, if you just care about it in 2D (plan view) you can use the "Edit Cut Profile" tool to make it look the way you want...

Or, if you want it "live" in 3D in all the views, you can work with each layer as a different wall, and then have the control you want.

We could do Edit Profile, or have each layer as separate wall types, but that creates more work. I guess the other way would be the wrap command in the wall style editor to get the look we are going for. Thanks for the response.

I have an alternate option:
Create a profile that is the width and depth you need then create a vertical host wall sweep with a conc material and set it back into the wall.

In plan view you can use the linework tool to override the lineweight accordingly

I haven't done tilt-up in Revit yet, but another idea would be to model each tilt panel as its own thing, since that's what's really going on in construction. This also gives you the ability to schedule and tag each tilt panel as a separate object.

Maybe just make a new conc. wall type that is the total thickness of your wall assembly and just add it where you want it. The wall wrap function would be worth looking at, But I think it will only extend out as far as the the thickness of the material.
