Hi all -
I'm working on reveals in the wall of a large theatre - please see the attached elevation and callout plan. All horizontal reveals are accomplished within the wall structure itself, but there are a couple of zones where I need vertical reveals - hence my issues.
I created a profile-reveal family and was able to place it in a couple of walls, but revit is unable to place it in others - see the elevation. I'm also having issues with having the reveal align with the edge of the wall - see the callout.
Finally, a best practices question - I'm not really happy with the lineweight of the reveals in elevation, as they're treated like a normal cut in the wall. Have people accomplished similar tasks using something other than a reveal? I like the simplicity of the horizontal reveals in wall structure, but the process is frustrating me right now.
Cheers,
Pete Wilson
