Is it possible to create a vertical wall reveal? Similar to an expansion joint. Also, how do I create/load different reveal profiles? Thanks.

a) Go to the Modelling Tab in the Design Bar, select Host Sweep > Wall Reveal. In the Options Bar it gives you the choice of Horizontal or Vertical.

b) You can create new reveals by creating a new Hosted profile family and going to the Settings menu in the menu bar, choosing Family Category and Parameters and in the dialog box chosing Profile Usage to be Reveal.

Then load that profile back into the project. You would then reuse the steps in part a) but this time selecting the properties button in the Options Bar. This will bring up the Reveal element properties, choose the Edit/New button, then the Duplicate button and give it a name. Then you will be able to select a profile in the Type Parameter.
