Fixed height wall component possible?

Would like to be able to have a fixed height wall component. Any way to do this?

All I need is a fixed height "stud" and a fixed height cast in place concrete.

You can use curtain wall tool.

Thanks that looks like an option. Probably should rethink what I'm trying to accomplish.

If I'm reading you right, you can do that with Basic Wall Types. That is, Extend Wall Layers. It's controlled via the Base/Top Extension Wall Parameters.

To set it up, follow the instruction in this article:

No I'm actually talking about having a fixed height wall. I Have the extend layers figured out and using that for finishes. The link you provided looks like it will help with some other issues I'm having so will look over some more tomorrow. Thanks.

"Fixed Wall Height"? What does this mean?

Nothing apparently in revit land lol. But, since you asked, you know how a structural footing can have a fixed height (I'm thinking or thought or whatever) that I might like to have one of these (right now or at some point haha). I've come up with a solution to my needs but MIGHT be better if I could create one. Don't spend too much brain power on this as it's not weighing heavy on me this morning.
