Change the thickness of wall layer at wrap

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

There seems to many posts on this topic but none, as far as I could tell, on my particular issue. Is there a way to change the thickness of a wall layer where that layer is wrapped at a window?

I have set up a wall closure reference plane in the window family and have set up my wall family so that the 215 thick inner leaf wraps around to meet it - okay so far. Can I change the wall/wrap settings so that at the wrap the thickness of the inner leaf narrows to 100 mm. Hopefully the images below show what I'm trying to do.

I'm working on Revit LT 2019 and I'm quite new to the programme so hopefully I'm not missing something extremely obvious. 🙂

Thanks in advance!

A couple of options:
1. Create parts and modify parts shape handles.
2. Cut profile.

When you create parts you loose the wall wraps. Modeling it in the window family might be an option.

I'm using Revit LT so I don't think creating parts is an option. I've tried the cut profile tool and this worked well - looks exactly how I want it to. I would have to do this at every window so unfortunately it's not the most efficient. 

Thanks for your help!

Do you mean that I can model the wall wrap in the window family?

Thanks for you help!

Maybe... it's not the best option though because I don't think the wall will join properly with the window family.

Yes.  You would have to divide part and use shape handle to reshape it.  Lots of work but some may choose to do it if they want everything perfect.

when I had this problem I usually solved it by creating two layers of the same material . In your case a thermal layer of 115mm and another one of 100mm over it. Then wrap only the second layer..
