I am looking for advice on an ideal workflow for the following situation:
I have a stacked wall with a rowlock, but the rowlock needs to be removed and the exterior material thicknesses need to change.
The issue I am running into is that I have been told to edit the existing and I'm not sure how it was created. I was thinking if I make duplicates and edit those or create a new stacked wall, this could be easier, but I am not familiar enough to know.
I have a stacked wall with a rowlock, but the rowlock needs to be removed and the exterior material thicknesses need to change.
Can you describe the extent that the rowlock needs to be removed (partially vs all gone) and the resulting thickness changes?
Also will you need to document this as demolition and construction or is it simply a design change?
This may help us guide you to a better work-flow as editing the wall family may not allow you to effectively remove in some places and retain the rowlock in different places.
Looks like a Stacked Wall type. Right-click on it and select Break Up from the Menu. Or modify the Wall Type Properties by right clicking on the Wall Type in the Project Browser and pressing Edit Type Properties to get into Edit Assembly.
...I'm with @lucdoucet_msdl though. I wouldn't edit the original. I'd Clipboard Copy and Paste Aligned to the Same Place and then make the new one a duplicate Type. Then I'd change the Phasing of the two Wall Types so they don't overlap. One for Existing (Phase Demo'd = New Construction) and one for New Construction (Phase Demo'd = None). Then I'd modify the Properties of the new one as required.
The thickness of the rowlock will need to change, instead of being removed. I've attached the current conditions for this design change. The material is brick changing from 4" to 3/4" thin-set.
Thank you for the questions, they are helping me get a better understanding, too.
@ahannerX5E95, So as a design change, I would stick to using a stacked wall with a wall sweep and change the sweeps parameters as suggested by @ToanDN as everything is the same new construction phase. If it were existing with a masonry repair scope of work, It would have been better to model it differently (but that's another story). Also, safer to duplicate the wall type and make changes to a small sample in the project to then selectively re-assign the new wall type to your existing walls taking care to note and correct any errors that crop up. Hope this helps, -luc

@lucdoucet_msdl Sorry I didn't not suggest anything. I only answered what it was.
