How to Handle Walls with Different Thicknesses in Revit
When dealing with walls of varying thicknesses in Revit, there are multiple approaches you can take. Below are two straightforward methods for your reference.
1. Hollow Cutting
- Begin by drawing a section of the wall. Then select Built-in Model and choose Create a Hollow Stretch.
- Select the Hollow Stretch tool.
- Draw the contour of the hollow area.
- Set the height of the stretch, then use the Cutting Tools to perform the cut.
Some may worry whether cutting affects the wall’s volume. In fact, the volume will change after cutting, but this does not impact volume calculations.
2. Built-in Model Method
- Similar to the first method: select Built-in Model, then change the Family Category to Wall and assign it an appropriate name.
- Use the Stretching command to draw the wall’s outline.
- Be sure to associate a material parameter with the wall.
