Drag the end of one of the split walls away from the other and then drag it
back and it will join the other section.

I split a wall at the wrong point yesterday. (Can't undo.) Is it possible
to unsplit two walls back into a single wall?
Well, obviously joining two items is easy. But I didn't ask about that.
I didn't mean "join" as in the Revit meaning of the term. I meant "join" as in the AutoCAD meaning of the term - combine two objects into one single object; aka unsplit - The opposite of split.
That's why I used the 3 other phrases: glue, combine, or unsplit.
I only used the word "join" to make this question as easy to find as possible later on. (The discussion group's search capabilities are severely limited.)
Drag the two apart and then back together. If they have the same height and
are of the same style - they will join and merge into one wall object. If
they have different heights - they will just join geometry.

WOW!!! Freaking cool! Sorry Clyne, you DID answer that question right.
See. I did try it before I sent that last post, but I didn't take into account the THIRD wall coming in at the intersection. Obviously that interfered with the combining of the two walls.
Actually, just clicking on the end grip of either wall that abuts another will rejoin them back into one continuous wall. But if the walls are separated (apart) then the method offered by Clyne or Aaron will work.

This method of unsplitting doesn't work on walls with built-in sweeps or reveals. To do so, you should duplicate the wall type and remove the sweeps/reveals. Change all segments that you want to join into the new type. Click the end-points to re-join them, and then change back to the wall type with the sweeps/reveals built-in. Delete the unnecessary wall type.
For some reason, I had to change my wall location lines from "core centerline" to "wall centerline" to make this work for me.
Also note that you have to drag endpoint onto endpoint. Dragging one wall's end past the other creates overlapping walls, instead of merging the walls.
(I'm at like 98% construction documents with a huge building, and I was delighted to be able to get this to work. I have lots of dimension references established to these walls that I needed to keep hosted, and unsplitting keeps all those references.)
