Now I've had to lower each one and put a seperate wall on top of the stacked wall for a thinner parapet wall condition which is leaving me horizontal lines - but only in some places. I have embedded walls in some places as well, and hosted sweeps around virtually everything, not to mention pilasters that only bump out 8". Revit is supposed to stand for Revise Instantly, yet I'm unable to make changes without taking several days to fix everything which makes me think that this is not the best way to handle this building. It's typical construction in the US right now - I'm really having a hard time believing that it's just too much for this program, I've attached a corner perspective of my building as a reference.
Here's the question...how would you build it? Stacked walls? Hundreds of reference planes/levels? At this point I'm ready to scrap the whole thing (again) and start over but I'm just at my wit's end as to how to proceed from here. Thank you in advance.
