EDIT CURVED WALL PROFILE - REVIT 2009

[LLAD]

How can you edit a curved wall profile? I have wall which has a straight wall section and a cruved wall beyond tat portion, with 10'+/- radius.

I would like to cut the curved portion so that it steps down with a curved portion. Normally you select the wall (highlight) then select
the "EDIT' button, and proceed.

I thought I had read that it was possible to edit a curved wall in Revit 2009. Does anyone know how this can be done, or if it can be done?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
No command to 'edit profil' for curved wall.
You need to make a 'wall in situ' with extrusion along a path.

One extrusion 'type solid' for the curved wall.
One extrusion 'type void' removed from the curved wall.

Check the three answer.

All you have to do is use the "Wall Opening" tool when the curved wall is selected.

Check out this Wikihelp article.

The question is not about opening a hole in a curved wall.

What´s the point in putting the same wrong answer in 3 similar threads that are asking about editing the elevation profile of a curved wall, not about opening a rectangular opening in a curved wall?

And I see that you went to Revitforum, also, to post the same wrong information...

[manofskill]

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  Think of the hole in the corner where you would have edited the profile.  Nobody said it has to be in the middle of the wall.

I made a short video to explain things visually:  http://youtu.be/EQpBidT9_4U

[Alfredo_Medina]

Yes, that is useful and interesting. What I point out is that in all the 3 threads where you replied, actually 4 if we count the one in Revitforum, the person was asking a different question. How to edit the elevation profile of  a wall, the boundaries, usually to put a curve on the top of the wall. In your video, the boundaries of the wall remain the same, if you look at the wall from an elevation. 

[manofskill]

To be fair, nobody ever mentioned putting a curve on the top of a wall but you can do that too.  The official statement would be, "No, you can not edit the profile of a curved wall."  Now, having said that, you can make the wall look like you edited the profile.  It's not as easy but it's just the Revit works I guess.

To put a curved top on a curved wall, you could attach it to a curved roof for example.

I made another video to explain myself more clearly:  http://youtu.be/O4pRHhs-gzc

By the way, I'm not claiming what I'm writing is gospel.  I'm happy to be politely corrected if I am wrong.

To be fair, if you read this thread from the beginning, and open all the image attachments that suggest different methods, you will see that all of them refer to making a curved wall with a curved top. Then the next post just says "All you have to do is use the "Wall Opening" tool when the curved wall is selected.", well, that answer is not true, because you cannot just use the wall opening tool to create the curved top. That's all I'm saying. It's a good tip, but not an answer to the subject of the thread(s).

Yes, you are correct.

[brian.kling]

I can see Alfredo's point in honing in on the specific answer to the question posted, that is quite important!

But @manofskill, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make a video and trying to be helpful!  How about you post a new question related to the answer your video provides, then reply with description and link to the video and mark as an Accepted Solution?
