    Unhappy Masonry Separating Floor and Wall Sections

    I have recently started working on an apartment block. I am trying to get the masonry floor and wall sections to match that of the UK Part E Building Regs/RSD details. I have attached a current plan and section of what I have now and a very quick sketch of what I want to achieve.
    Basically the floor I have is a screed on rubber on 150 plank with a MF ceiling below.
    How do I get the block work to sit on the plank and cut the screed and also break the plank at the cavity. Also frustrated with the difficulty cleaning up the seperating walls on plan.

    Thanks in advance

    Almost but I need the block work to sit directly on the plank floor.

    Do you need it modeled that way? Or is just for detailing?
    If you want to model it, you'll need to make a second floor for the scree in each of the rooms created by the block walls.

    However I would think you need this for detailing only and I would use the Edit Cut Profile Tool?

    Now if we could just get Revit to propagate cut profiles through multiple views.

    Although we would issue at 1:50 scale sections. I would and our clients would still want to see it as accurate as possible. We would issue a detail for this junction as well. All be it a lengthy task. Plank must only be supported on block skin of cavity and not pass through cavity. Otherwise in the UK we have to sound test the wall construction. Costly

    Wall/floor clean up is controlled primarily by the function setting for the various layers of the assemblies. A Structure 1 function will generally clean up with a Structure 1 function; a Finish 2 with a Finish 2 etc.

    Try playing with the settings for your floor slab and wall to see how the different settings affect the join. Where the elements are located in relation to the core of the wall also affects how they join.
    The image on the right is the wall drawn continuously through the floor before using join geometry. The image on the left after join geometry.

    Take the time to explore this as it wills ave you countless hours later in the process. You would be amazed how much of the geometry you can get Revit create from directly the model without having to push and pull layers and do all sorts of redrawing. Once it's done properly you have the added advantage of being able to redefine the relationship of the finishes (the acoustic issue maybe) by simply redefining the wall style.

    If you unlock the core of the wall and set it extend down the depth of the screed then attach the base of the wall to the floor, it should give you one of the details you are looking for.
