I'm trying to do some interior coordination in a Revit project. I have a structural Revit model linked in, and I am trying to get all the members wrapped with framing and GWB. For vertical and horizontal memebers, its easy enough, but we also have sloping cross-bracing. Is there any good way to get a sheathing wall type to pick the braces as the host and follow their paths?

Wall by face, on a mass... But that means you will need a Mass Family in place where the bracing is in the structural model.

BTW, is it an Accessible condition? We dont wrap the X bracing in sheathing, so much as drop an entire wall around the extents of it down to the ground. Otherwise, someone could miss a piece of bracing at 4' high, with a walking cane, but could slam their head in to it if theyre visually impaired....

No...its all perimeter. We're just looking to maximize light and space, and want to avoid just dropping walls in front of them.

Looks like only options are to either re-draft most of the structural model, to have overlayed objects to fix to (masses or reference lines), or I guess to Copy/ Monitor the structure.
