The default wall join functionality in Revit is appalling.

For example, material handling gives no precedence to elements/layers that are marked as 'structural' for example, resulting in structure that is cut into or changes length due to touching non-structural element/layers -- this is not the reality of how buildings are built at all, and makes documentation much more difficult.

 

The current options for users are to either accept Revit's flawed and most often incorrect wall joins, to cycle through a few different alternatives which more often than not don't include a correct/logical one, or right-click the walls end and choose Disallow Join (where there are multiple overlapping walls this can be difficult to do without first isolating the wall(s) to be worked on) -- The suggestion to make this a separate tool to work on multiple walls at once would be a huge step forward, it would save me thousands of clicks for most projects.

 

Also the current Wall Join tool should highlight walls like AutoCAD, not simply show a box around the intersection, so users can be clear on which walls they are working with, as there are often many intersections and numerous walls close to each other.
