Splitting Walls at every level in Revit

[john.ralph]

We have an RC framed building modeled in Revit which we want to analyse in Robot.

Unfortunately many of the RC walls extend across several levels as modeled.

Robot requires that the walls extend for one floor only therefore we need to split the walls at every floor level.

We could labouriously select each wall one at a time and split at each floor level.

This would be an extremely slow process as there are over 200 walls in the model.

Is there any way of splitting multiple walls at a floor level?

Similarly for columns, can we split multiple columns at a floor level?.

Hi All,

Have the exact same issue as John... any suggestions of a quicker way to split walls at floor intersections?

The only place I see the option is when exporting to IFC. You will have a checkbox to split walls by stories.

1. What you can do is export only the walls.
2. Open the exported file in revit and the original project.
3. In your project, go to 3D view and make only walls and their openings visible (doors, windows, and any other custom opening families).
4. Copy the exported walls and paste them into your project.
5. Select all openings and copy them.
6. Delete old walls (notice all openings will disappear).
7. Now go to modify > paste aligned to same place
8. All openings will take the new walls as their hosts.

Good luck!

There might be an easier way.

Switch to an elevation view or Section view.

Select the wall, use the Split button on the Modify panel

Split the wall horizontally.

Unfortunately you have to repeat this for every multilevel wall.

Not reading all off the question results in an answer already given ;-( Sorry.

My solution is whether if the perimeter around and interor of the building the same all the way up? If so you can take all walls an set them between "floor 1 floor 2 or ceiling 1"(if that makes sense how your levels are set up) so you would have just shrank your building down to only one level. But then you'd grab all the walls an copy by level an theatrically the wall would be split an be on separate floors plus if each floor has its own walls constrained top an bottom it benefit you just in case you need to raise them for any reason. I don't know if this helps or confuses you more hopefully it helps.
