Wall thikness limitation

Hello,
I need to guide me. I have a wall in my Revit model that should have different layers, one of them is 0.4mm, but Revit showed me an error that the layer thickness limitation is 0.794mm.
What should I do in this case?

Obviously if you want to stick to basic walls you have to stick to the limitation. But assuming you would be able to cross that limitation, I am wondering how would you print that out?? 

 

They have a function called membrane layer which can be 0 thickness...you can use that and append the actual thickness as a Parameter in the material just for the purpose of information

 

Here is another workaround:

  1. Create a basic wall with a single layer 10mm >>
  2. place it with an offset 0.4mm from the base wall >>
  3. join geometry... see GIF below...but again bear in mind that when it comes to plotting/printing, I am not sure you will manage to show them as 2 separate lines.

This can be created as a membrane layer with zero thickness.

You could compensate this thickness in another layer if necessary. But 0,4mm seems negligible.
