Breaking of walls at intersection of another wall.

[Anonymous]

I want to break the wall at intersection point of another wall using Revit API's.

For instance , In screen shot attached :

1) When i extract the quantities roomwise, i get W1 wall complete for each of the three rooms namely : Room 1 , Room 2 , Room 3.

2)Thus the wrong quantities are extracted because if i want roomwise quantity then  the wall W1 should be broken into W1a for Room 1 ,W1b for Room 2 , W1c for Room 3 to get the correct quantities.

How can i break this W1 wall at the intersection point of the other walls so that i get W1a , W1b , W1c walls using Revit API's ?

Hi Shweta Agashe,

Revit didn't expose the API to split wall to short walls.
The workaround is to copy 2 walls from the original wall, and change the three walls' start point and end point to their target positions.
