Revit walls created in Architectural model set as Structural in the check box

[aturner77]

How does it benefit the Structural Model to use the Structural check box for Revit Walls created in the Architectural Model ?

There are two reasons

Reason1

Selecting structure option in walls will enable the analytical model just in case you need to use it for load calculation or send it for any other structural software to calculate.

Reason2 for discipline purpose, if the structural option is enabled then you will be able to show only structural walls in a structural specific view
