How many revit wall types should I have

So I’m using revit 2019, and I’m wondering how many wall types I should have in a project? Should I include my finish wall face products in the wall types (6” siding, 8” siding, gypsum wall board, commercial glass board, etc.)?  Then what’s the best way to schedule those wall types?

You should have as many or as few as you need. 

 

If your structure walls are the same but you have a lot of finishes + he the facade finish design is rather complicated then you can create each finish as a wall type and join geometry with structure walls in the model.

 

If your facade finish design is simple, like the entire 1st floor is one type, the rest is another type, then you can build the finished into the main wall types.

That's really up to you - but ideally, you would like to see the Project Browser populated with only the Walls that the Project is using.   Once you get into Project Maintenance and start using Purge Unused, all those unused Walls will be blown out anyways.   My recommendation would be to to keep it to a minimum and add them as you need them.  Also, you can build all the Wall Types you could ever use in another Project as a Wall Library, and then just pull Wall Types from that "Library" Project into your project as needed.  

 

I'll add that we are in Residential and LT Frame, so our Project Templates have Stud Walls (e.g. Walls that are only the thickness of the framing).  Those are the Types we use to model all of our Project Walls initially.  Then we swap them out for Finished Types as the Project progresses.   Not much different from the way it be built in the field.
