Revit Architecture 2017 – Create & Modify Compound Walls

By John Flanagan

Introduction

My latest White Paper (Nov 2016) on the Cadline Community shows you how to assign a new concrete block wall layer underneath an existing masonry brick wall layer and also how to create a concrete sill sweep between the brick and block layers.

Remember that sweeps add material and reveals subtract material. Walls are system families that exist in the project, they are not loaded from the metric library like component families. To create a new wall type, you duplicate and modify an existing wall as illustrated here.
