Wall Assembly Elev. View

[pnovak1]

Hello,

I ran into a Revit “problem” that I can’t resolve to my liking. Maybe there is no solution to it.

I have lots of raked partition walls in this project we need to have elevation views for. So, I created an assembly from the wall (the fastest way I guess) and created an elevation view. We use standard construction practices, so the two ends of the wall go from framing to framing. We frame first and drywall later. When the elevation view is created from the assembly the wall length is (1" too short), as the distance measured between the two finished (drywall) walls. Please see attached images.

Disallow Auto-Join and Join Manually via Join Geometry

Hi,

Yes, that is a workaround. Takes a lot of time when you have lots of walls, and gives you an ugly detail as well with the overlapping lines.

Thanks

What about Parts=>Assembly?

Create Parts and exclude finish layers from Parts.  Then create Assembly from Parts.

Hi,

Actually, that is not a bad idea. One extra step but I can live with that. 

Thank you for that.
