I've been trying to model a set of ramps, and after discovering that I couldn't attach the wall base to the ramp, I switched the ramps to floors.
Having attached the walls to the sloping and level floor sections - is it possible to set a fixed height for the walls (say 1000m) above the floor ? |I can see how to set them to a level, or an offset from a level - but not an offset from the floor surface to which they are attached.
Anyone have any tips ?
I should add that I know how to edit the profile of the wall and use the sketch tool - but I would rather find a way of linking the height to the ramped floors so that any changes to floor levels, landings and ramped sections permeate through.
Hi. I would use reference planes. Add one along the ramp. Offset by 1000 mm. Select wall, and use attach top/base.
Regards.
Thanks Ali,
I'm new to this - since the floor / ramp is made up of multiple sections (ramps and landings) - do I use a reference plane for each floor section (so I can have a variety of flat and sloped sections) ?
If so, how can I get the wall to attach and follow the reference planes if there are more than 1 ?
Answering my own question - do you use individual wall segments for each section of floor and attach each section to its own reference plane ?
Can you lock the reference plane to the surface of the floor ? (sorry for such a basic question - but is it as simple as adding a dimension and locking it ?)
Sorry for the vague questions - I don't have access to Revit in the office to check.
Hi.
1- Create you wall (Entire length)
2- If wall at grid create a framing elevation, if not, Create a section passing through wall in longitudinal direction
3- Create reference planes
4- Split wall vertically at corresponding locations
5- Attach each wall seperately
Another options would be to do the following
1, 2, 3, - Same as above
4- edit profile and draw your new profile
5- Join wall where needed to get clean joints.
