Editing wall profile according to the intersected elements

[Vipin.Vijayakrishnan]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to edit wall profile according to the elements attached to the top of the wall. For example, we have a wall and it is attached to the floor and beams at the top of the wall.

Initially, the wall has rectangular profile.

I need to edit the wall profile according to the intersection of floor and beams to the wall. The resultant profile should look like the following.

I tried substracting the solids of floor and beams from wall solid. But I don't get the expected result. Could anyone please help me to achieve this case using revit api?

Thanks in advance.

Do we really have to re-answer every possible question every single week? 

We discussed editing a wall profile right here in the forum just eight days ago:

Could you check whether your question has already been answered there?

Thank you!

Actually, looking closer, the answer last week was pretty strongly UI-oriented. It is not clear from your question whether you are looking for a manual end user UI solution or a pure API programming approach. If it is the latter, please read on:

In Revit 2022, the SketchEditScope was implemented to support editing wall profile sketches:

Check out the developer guide for information on how to use it:

Here is some live sample code showing how to use it here in the forum:
