Internal wall wraps to exterior when meeting edge of curtain wall

[Anonymous]

As shown in plan below I have a glazed curtain wall set into a cavity wall (I've done this by editing the wall's profile). At the point where these meet, a perpendicular interior wall joins the cavity wall. Rather than butting up to the cavity wall and wrapping the plasterboard as it does with no internal wall (as with the window to the left) the plasterboard continues through to the external face of the cavity wall. Any ideas how I can stop it doing this?

Is the below what you want?  What is the compound (layer) settings for the two walls?

Yes, that is pretty much what I'm aiming for, but with the external brickwork wrapping at the junction with the curtain wall.

Are these what you meant by compound (layer) settings?

Thanks for your help.

I have found that editing the profile of the partition wall to the internal face of the external wall prevents the plasterboard wrapping issue, but the external brickwork still doesn't wrap. Also, this feels like a bit of a workaround that didn't ought to be necessary.

Start with the above wall structure settings.

Now...here is an important bit to understand...a window wall will NOT count as an "insert" for wrapping purposes. But a Wall Opening created using the tool of that name WILL. So create a wall opening first that's the right size and height to fit your window wall. Then select the wall and covert the wrapped sides of the opening to the DISALLOW JOIN state. That will keep them from changing when you insert the window wall. Now, finally, insert the window wall.

Annoying. Embedded window walls SHOULD be recognized as inserts. But at least you can get the job done.

Good finding!

It is really a bummer that Revit does not consider an opening by a curtain wall (auto embed or manually cut) as Opening.

Aside from cut the wall with an Opening, you can also Edit profile to make the Opening and have it wrapped.

As alternative way we can use the Cut Profile tool in the View - Graphics tools.
