creating part and wall wrapping

[revitz7F85E]

walls doesn't wrap around windows or doors when creating parts which means i can not schedule the material correctly nor do a visualization to my model correctly is there a workaround for this ?

Revit doesn't schedule wall wraps. You need to model them if you want to schedule them.  

End Wall Wrap modeled with a perpendicular Wall:

@barthbradleythank you for your replay , so i need to build each layer as model in place and convert them to parts with the matched material to be calculated this will be a lot of work i suppose , however can you recommend another way which doesn't include creating parts for schedules i mean while building the model it self like for example creating a core wall and 2 walls for interior finish and exterior finish using a split face and paint will this be a right way for scheduling the materials ?

Thanks and best regards

I don't follow.  You can create parts from the walls that represent the wrapping if you want. 

Parts created from Wall representing the End Wall Wrap:

i have tried but that was the result

You need to model the wrap as a Wall Type first. Then create Parts - if that's actually necessary.  If you are doing a MTO Schedule, it wouldn't be necessary.

@barthbradleyi did that but when the wall intersects with a window as the picture i sent earlier when converting it to parts the finish material doesn't  wrap around the window frame

I don't know what you tried and failed to do. Regarding the above screenshot, create a basic wall type that has only one layer of the same thickness as the interior finish layer of the wall shown in your screenshot. Then place this wall type for the wrapped condition at the window jambs.  Basically, model it the way it will be done in the field.  The dry wall contractor will cut a piece of drywall to fit that return.

We're talking in circles here.  I said (with pictures) from the beginning to model the wrap with a basic wall type.

finally i understood what you mean by creating a wall type from the same finish material and use it as wall wrap i was getting confused thank you so much

Hallelujah!  

Model the head and sill wraps with floors if you want to schedule those materials as well.

@barthbradley  i have created it as a sweep thank you so much 😄

You can model the wrap as a shared architectural Column family, nest it in the window family and associate the dimension parameters. When place in project, it will join with the wall finish automatically.
