Dormer walls. Int vs. Ext.?

I realize there are probaly several ways to handle this, but I'm just wondering if anyone has a best practices sort of solution for this problem.

 

Dormer walls are by nature both interior walls below the roof line and exterior walls above the roof line. What is the best way to model a dormer wall to address this? This question assumes there is a best way. Perhaps I just have to ignore the fact that I have exterior siding in my attic space???

You can:

 

1. Model 2 separate wall types, then Join Geometry.

 

2. Use a Stacked Wall, combining the 2 wall types into a single "stacked wall".

 

Always try to build in Revit the way it will be built in the field.

Well, that certainly sounds simiple enough. I have not yet worked with stacked wall types, but I understand the concept. I should try this before using up any more of your time.... but I didn't realize you could create a diagonal interface (roof slope)  in the longitudinal axis of the wall where the two wall types meet. So I guess this means you can?

I did this for a school exercise where I wanted CMU for most of the wall, solid concrete for a bond beam for the top, and then a plywood and studs wall for the end gable above -- all with stucco. With nothing in my school book to go by, I searched the internet for solutions and practiced this one and it turned out really well 🙂

If by some odd chance my nattering was useful -- that's great, glad to help. But if it actually solved your issue, then please mark my solution as accepted 🙂

Okay, I can see the "nattering" as you put it, but I don't see any attachment or descriptive methodology that shows what you're talking about. What is it you want me to accept as a solution? Did you mean to attach additional information?
