Revit constantly forces wrong alignment on walls when a slope is added...

Hi. Revit constantly forces wrong alignment on walls when a slope is added to one of the walls profile.

I've attached an image.

#1) 3 walls are conencted, all good.

#2) 3D view of the 3 walls, all good.

#3) Added slope to one wall's profile, all good still.

#4) Raising the height of another wall to match the height of the sloped wall, and revit screws it up and changes the alignment.

The way it looks in #4 is not how it's contructed in real life so i need revit to stop this weird behavior. It should look like in #3 but with the thin vertical wall matching the height of the thick wall with sloped profile.

I have tried various ways and orders of constraining the walls but nothing seems to help it actually changes the alignment or dimension (if i use that instead of constraints) even though they are locked, but no error/conflict msg is displayed.

I can't use anything but "normal" walls cause it's to be used in another program and that program can't calculate wall and glass areas if things like masses, void extrudes and curtain walls are used. So only standard walls, windows and doors.

kind regards
a frustrated revit user

Have you tried plying with the 'Disallow Join' option?

Thank you for your reply but i don't think it's going to work. I have attached an image showing what happens when i disallow join. Note the wall isn't even sloped here so doubt it'll work better with a sloped profile. Looks even weirder now.

EDIT: My bad i actually did add the slope.

Disallow join on all three of them. Then you can drag the endpoints exactly where you want them and Revit won't screw it up.

Thanks. Forgot to pull on the disjoined wall. It can be made to look right with just disjoining the vertical wall (attached image). However now i am unsure if Revit and the program it's to be used in (i don't have access to that program yet) will consider these walls joined or just really really close to eachother.

Disallow Join then use Join Geometry to join them.

Take a look at this screencast. With the slopes should work the same way.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! guys. Have chosen Pij answer as disallowing joins is really important, but couldn't have made it right without Toan's input as well.
