Revit Stacked Walls

[Dianar1]

I'm trying to create a stacked wall out of a few different basic walls, one of the walls needs to be less then 1.5" in height, why am I not able to and is there a way around this? Revit is saying can't make wall

Revit has sometimes limitations. For walls this is 31 mm. Lower and you will receive an error.

Depending on the construction you might be able to do something with voids or reveals (higher wall wereby you then remove the excess part)

Hi @Dianar1,

@L.Maas is right.

For such a small height, you just don't use a wall.

You use a sweep!

I am going to show you how to integrate it as part of your wall.

 

1. Edit your wall type (the one above or below the tiny bit of wall you want to add)
2. In the structure panel, make the view a section view
3. Only then will the sweeps button become available. Click on it.
4. Pick your profile for the sweep, its material, positionning etc...
5. Validate.

Go back to your stacked wall,

And you will see that the sweep has been integrated!

FYI, sweeps can overlay only part of walls, you can have several of them, etc... only limit  is that parts of its geometry has to lie within the wal!!

Hope this helps,
