Hi, As part of a rennovation project I'm trying to draw an existing wall, which will have a section cut out of it during the new construction phase. But I'm having difficulties. What I've tried:
- Wall opening: I can't set a phase to the wall opening
- Void model: Error saying the void doesn't cut anything
- splitting the wall (horizontally and vertically). This works acceptably on a simple model (see pic), but on my house model, I can only seem to create the vertical split in the wall. What could be going on here?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
You'll have to make two walls, since you can't demo part of something in Revit. Edit the profile on one wall to make the L shape in your image, then make another "infill" wall for the remainder that you can demo.
Hope that helps.
OK, I think that'll work for me. Any idea why adding the horizontal split to my wall in my house model may not have worked?
Thanks

That's what I what I was after Damo - works perfectly. So simple yet so elusive !
Thanks

Damo3.... one more question. Is there a way to make the family such that it is easy to snap/align the opening extents to geometry in the model? I can create a wall opening family no worries and have set the width and height parameters to appropriate reference lines in the family, but when I use that family in the model, I need to measure the intended width, muck about with width and position a bit to get the opening in the right place. With a normal wall opening (not a family), the sides can be dragged independently and aligned quickly to where they are needed. Can the same be done for the family version? Wow, I hope this makes sense?
Thanks
