Retaining wall Opening

Can we make openings in the Retaining wall.

I have seen some videos pretty sure it can be done with structural walls.

can't find any solution in the Retaining wall.

In Revit 2022, this problem seems to be solved.

if you enable the Architectural menu you should be able to place a Door or Window opening in the wall. Retaining walls are typically placed in a Negative offset from the Level. just make sure your Base constraint and offset for the opening are set appropriately. You should also be able to place a elevation and edit profile of the wall.

1=door opening, 2=Window opening, 3=edit profile.

done in Revit 2020

Once you created the wall, use edit profile and created additional boundaries as shown in figure. This also will create openings in a retaining wall. Hope this helps you!
