Hello everybody
Im sitting in a company, where we are producing, drawing and building with wall and roof elements. They have a standard size. Is there somhow, Revit can automatical draw these devisins in the wall?
Our element is 1150mm, so lets say i draw a wall on 10.000mm can it then start with an element, draw all the whole elements that is possible, and then cut the last? And maybe even more complicated, if i do a cornor, can it then continue with the cutted elements?
I have put up some images of me manually drawing some 2D.
And furthermore ( i know im pushing it now) can i extract the single elements in 3D from the same wall? So it´s possible to make drawings to our production?
Thankyou very much!
Convert the wall into parts then make a void extrusion to make the cutting .

Thats pertty time consuming if im doing large buildings.
Isn´t there an easy way to make the Wall function draw with elements, and not just an uniform mass like it´s doing by default?
the problem is with the selution you are sugestion is, if i later wanna change something, i manually have to change everything. But if it was in a chain wall it would adjust everything by itself (I hope)
The short answer would be no; There isn't really functionality to add that kind of detail to a wall system family. I would also caution against trying to show the full detail of every element in Revit, you don't necessarily need to have individual elements to convey what you're trying to show.
I would suggest that you scrap the idea of creating some kind of repeating 3D wall element, stick to using a typical wall and then investigate how you can add information to achieve the same visual result in plans/sections etc.
A pattern applied to the outer layer of the wall could be used to simulate the divisions between elements. In plan a repeating detail item could be used to convey the interlocking graphic you've indicated.
If you wanted to really go further with it you could look into an arrayed, wall hosted void that contains a detail item of your plan graphic. That way you could almost click and drag for the length of the wall and theoretically you'd see equivalent information in plan and elevation as you want...
I where thinking about doing it as a curtain wall, but as far as I know, it can´t do corners?
I think you mean the x- minus y-lenght part at the end and (automatically) starting with an y lenght piece, so you'd need an y-lenght offset for starting pattern at the corner(s). But you can ofcourse draw this manually.
...something like this, but then with cw panels like ToanDN. A calculated 800mm offset as manual input (=1150-500+300/2), depending on where your alignment is and thickness etc.
