Creating wall with Parallelogram top view

[d08521024]

Hi, I need help fo creating a custom concrete wall as shown in the image attached. The shape of the wall from the top view is a parallelogram.

Not sure what you are asking.  How did you model the walls in your screenshot? How are they wrong?

Like this?

Yes, The attached image is the plan view. I want to model the highlighted walls in 3D. The problem is Revit wall elements are rectangular from the plan view in general. How to modify that to make it a parallelogram as shown in the image.

[d08521024]

Yes. But I want to model only the highlighted ones in 3D.

[d08521024]

Only the wall, that is marked in red color.

Sorry buddy, but I'm still not understanding. Are you by chance referring to this join condition?  

[d08521024]

I think this 3D view will give a better idea. This wall is not connected with any other walls. Only the plan view is not a perfect rectangle. As of now, I have created this using 'model in place. But I want to make it with a standard concrete wall family.

What's wrong with it? Looks fine to me.  Why don't you just use Walls, instead of Modeling In-Place?  Put some intelligence into it. That's why you paid the big bucks for BIM software.

You can use in place void or a shaft to chamfer the wall. Or use a concrete beam and cut it with reference planes.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

Wow. That "thank you" sounds lukewarm compared to the "Thank you very much. I will give it a try" you gave @ToanDN.  😉

I'll take it anyways. You're welcome.  

Good luck.

I have tried it this way. If it helps to anyone in future.

Two method you can use. First one is create wall and use void to cut off excess

Use the in-place family and use wall as your family category. Draw the outline

Use the cut geometry and select the wall

You now have wall with the edge cut off

The other method I've use is use floor or roof to act as wall. That way you can create any shape you want. However if the wall need to be tagged and scheduled, then I would use the first method.
