Historical Irregular Walls

Hi to All. As a user who often has to do with historical irregular walls I'd like Revit allows the possibility to modify the wall's thickness in plan, in order to create walls with irregular profiles. Exactly in the same way we are able to modify floor in section.
Thanks, regards

Hi @tecnico4A45F, do mean that the shape and wall thickness will vary along the wall's length as per the screenshot below, its a slightly extreme example.

@tecnico4A45F I created the irregular wall shape as a model in place, create an extrusion in plan view to what ever shape you like and saving it under the categories of walls so that windows and door would cut the extrusion as per a normal wall.

 

Would that be a solution that you have already tried?

might be a solution, I don't know what contraindications might arise

Model in place walls work a treat. And adding reference planes in the family makes dimensioning easier. I can see it getting more complicated if you need to demolish walls or parts of walls but with some extra work looks to be manageable. I did notice that demolishing hosted elements like doors & windows doesn't automatically provide an infill.
