    Default Wall End Grips

    I am a pretty new Revit Structure user so the solution to my problem may be simple and just haven't come across it yet. I am having trouble aligning the end grips of shear walls I am modeling. I am modeling 2 C shaped concrete shear walls which should be identical to each other. They are being drawn as a basic wall system family that have been modified for thickness and structural usage to meet the plans. As far as I can tell all of the parameters for the two walls seem to be the same (Line Location, horontal/top vertical projection, etc.). The problem I am having is getting the flanges of one of the C walls to model to the correct length. No matter how I draw it the top flange snaps to a certain length and the bottom flange notches itself. I have tried typing in the desired dimension, changing the line location of the wall before and after I draw it, even mirroring the correct wall and all produce similar results. I have checked the floor slab (which was copied monitored in from the architects model and it appears to be consistant for the two openings which the walls frame. I have attached a pdf showing the two walls. The wall on the left is the one thats is the issue, and I have selected the slab (shown in red) for reference to the opening. If anyone can help identify the problem or offer any suggestions that would be apprieciated.

    Don't know how your walls are set up, but I find the wall end grip right-click Disallow Join option to be very helpful to get my walls to clean up how I need. (See attached screen capture)
