wall wrapping

Ello everybody

 

I have two somehow related questions

 

  1. how can I wrap the wall at one end?
  2. the wall layers in section view at Windows (also doors) does not seem to wrap even with "wrap at inserts" option set! Is there an option hidden somewhere which I don't know of? Where? Or how can one get a wrap?

ello to you too @Anonymous

 

The option to pick which end to wrap is not available in Revit (till date) but what you could do is

  1. duplicate the wall type you are using
  2. set one with wrap at ends and one without
  3. Place first wall type (without wrap)
  4. then place the second wall (with wrap)

=> they will join in the middle and one would be wrapped at one end and the other not

 

For the wrapping at inserts...Ummm not sure how to say this lol but with or without it is useless. Just a graphical effect. The wrap which comes by default is similar to the sweeps and reveals you add to the wall family type...Anything I cannot schedule or take off I usually consider useless (it's just me)

 

Ideally I would model those within the Insert family (ie: add them as a nested family to that of the window or door) or just detail them in a Detail or Drafting view...

 

if you are just after the visuals...you can edit the wall profile

See screencas...

 

this Includes the wrap effect by editing wall profile...the only downside of it is that you will see that split region wherever you cut along the wall... not just at the inserts...Besides that; it doesn't adapt automatically to the window  (ie: if you change the window height, it wont adjust automatically, you will have to re-edit wall type. (ie: use with caughtion and never say I didn't warn you lol) Adding in the insert family is still my prefered method.

Thanks...one more question

 

does the same apply to curtain walls? I mean adding the wrap. The compound walls do not wrap at the Curtain walls inserts like for example when one place a storefront in a basic wall. Even in plan view the wall doesn't wrap and I am not sure how one could add the wrap to a curtain wall system

No...Curtain walls are a different case...The Wall will ignore the wrapping when you place the curtain wall (with the option Automatically Embeded Checked - which is required to add the opening in the wall)

 

Moreover...the Curtain Wall is not an insert... it is a wall!!

 

When you have a curtain wall and you require a wrap (example: the external brick layer)

  1. Create a CUT, using a Void Component (modeled in place) or (modeled using an insert family)
  2. Use the void to cut the wall first
  3. then place curtain wall
  4. you may constrain it then to the opening

 

Alternatively, if you dont want to use void inserts to cut wall...you can simply edit the profile of the wall in a section or elevation to have the opening that fits the Curtain Wall

 

The above will give you wall wrap at the curtain wall (IN PLAN VIEW)

I will add another method,  using a dummy wall ( with Structure layer only- (1) - first priority) - and a Filter of visibility ...The wall could be cut also under an angle different from 90 degrees...

Tons of solutions out there I guess :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: ... but for those who use the basic OOTB families or similar inserts, I guess  the two walls (1 with and 1 without wrap) or what you proposed works perfect :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: with least effort and headach

 

I would rather go for a void cut modeled in an insert family (which can be then placed in a wall with no wrapping at inserts)...since I never wrap at inserts and always add the wraps in the window or door family... it does the job pretty much neatly, it works anywhere on the the wall, can chamfer the walls to the desired angle and can be scheduled when needed

Hi,

 

When I create the layers for my wall I can not check it to be wrapped. The little box is there only I am not allowed to check it? Am I missing something?

 

Thanks

Layers in "Core" cannot wrap. Move them out.
