Hello,
I am a little bit new in Revit and I have the following question:
I want to create new sub-categories in the object style! I have found the way to do this..my problem is that I don't know how I will 'link' these sub-category with the part (lines) of the element that I want to change.
For example I have a wall and I want to add a sub-category to change the upper line....so how I will #link# the apper line with the settings that I have defined in the sub-category that I created?
I hope to make sense
Thank you in advance!

Hi @mairh_tsek
New subcategories will apply to the user modeled Elements defined under the parent category...you cannot change an element of a system family to a subcategory you created.
These are more useful when modeling elements in Family Editor than in Project environment

@RDAOU is right.
Here is a picture to show the relationship:
the category is parent to the subcategory.
The subcategory is chid.
Child and parent describe a relationship,
Category and subcategory describe a hierarchy
About walls, as you cannot edit subparts of a wall (apart from cornices and sweeps), you cannot assignthe them different subcategories.
The only way to do that with a wall is to model one in-place.
Which is not a good workflow by the way.
About subcategories, you mus know that:
As Rdaou has said, they are better used in Families. Here are a few rules though:
Hope this helps,

That was the reason why I couldn't create subcategory in a wall!
Ok, thank you very much!
