Turn mass walls into structural walls

Hello,

 

I want to turn my in-place mass walls (sloped or helical) to structural walls but i don't know how to do it. I'm able to do the walls but when i switch it to the analytical view the wall doesn't appear because it's not structural.  It's there a way to do in-place mass structural walls. Thanks in advance.

I made some observations on the subject and it seems that turning into structural for non vertical walls is not allowed.

 

Why I did took this conclusion :

  • For  Basic Walls , Structural parameters (Structural, Enable Analitycal, Structural Usage, and so on..) are all instance parameters not type paramaters ( look in Properties...)

I did the following test:

  • I made an In Place Mass and then applied Wall by Face (the same wall type) to a vertical face and to a sloped face.
  • When selecting the  vertical instance , in Instace - Properties , the Structural parameters options appear and  in ribbon's Modify Walls there are options : Mode, Analytical,  Model by Face , Modify Wall and Reinforcement.
  • When selecting the  sloped instance , in Instace - Properties , the Structural parameters options does not appear and  in ribbon's Modify Walls there is only one option : Model by Face (because it is a Wall by Face)...in fact no modify wall option....

This means , in my opinion ,that only vertical walls can be used as structural in Revit....Maybe when Revit will promote Sloped Walls this will be solved.....
