Drawing sloped wall

ahmadkhalaf7892 — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 08:10:39 GMT

Is there anyway I can draw a sloped wall such as in the photos (north View and 3D View ) ? How can we draw sloped photos .

I Don't want to change the profile because I would have a problem in Reinforcement as you can see in the photo .

The photo of Reinforcement is different from the sloped walls I aim to have in the other picture .

How can I achieve the sloped walls ? or have an angle for the slope for example ? Thanks

Create a mass then use Wall by Face tool. Or, create top and bottom sloped ref planes and attach top and bottom of wall to them.

Thanks a lot for the idea but I'm kinda new to Revit is there any video which can help with me understanding this processes ?

Edit the profile of the wall. Go to elevation view of the wall, click on wall, click on Edit Profile, sketch in the profile you want to achieve.

I have tried doing this but this would lead to me having problems while drawing Rebars and Reinforcing

Can't help with the rebars as I am not familiar with the structural aspect of reinforcing (architectural tech here), sorry. You could try a void extrusion maybe?

Why don't you shape edit the Wall via Attach Top/Base prior to placing the Rebar/Wire?

...how are the bars placed? Via sketch boundary? If so, Edit Boundary.

The bars are being placed via an extension called Naviate Rex , Its necessary for the reinforcement automation, I have tried editing prior to reinforce but it didn't work

So, essentially what you are saying, is that Naviate Rex can't deal with Revit Walls that have shape-edited profiles. Is that about the size of it? If so, seems to me that this limitation would be addressed in Naviate Rex documentation. They must have a way to deal with this. Do they have a web site you can go to for support?

Yeah maybe the problem is with The extension thanks a lot

A problem with the extension? I kind of doubt it.

So, what's the solution? Stop using Naviate Rex and use Revit Reinforcement instead? A "real" solution might come via the Naviate Rex help menu. Food for thought.

Yeah maybe there is a problem with the extension , I think I would have to figure things out.
Thanks a lot for the help I appreciate it a lot

Hi ToanDN,

And how about the wall foundation with this wall? I cannot model its wall foundation. Thank you!

Re: Drawing sloped wall

Model the foundation using foundation slab (or foundation slab + structural wall if the foundation is stepped).
