yes, totally agree! I've requested that the next version of Revit allow
"sub-types" for walls so I could define wall type "A", and then have several
widths for that definition.
But you are correct now...one new type for every width, even if it is just a
simple gyp board wall, with a 2x4, or 2x6, or 2x8 core....this list does get

I'm worried about a *very* long listing of generic Wall Types to describe
the various
conditions I encounter with renovation projects. A single Type, with
wariable width
setting per instance is much more simple and efficient....
