Hi all,
Hoping you can help here - I am making a corner window family which needs to cut two walls. The cutting of the two walls I am having no issue with. Getting nice wall wraps however...
The purple line in my snip above identifies my primary wall closure reference, the jamb here shows nice wall wraps as intended. The returning side of the window however, has wall wraps all over the place (red circle) because I cannot have a "Defines wall closure" reference plane on the return also.
Given this is a limitation of all window families, is there any workaround to get my wall wrapping to stop at the inside face of frame on the return also?
Thanks in advance.

Why not? You can set multiple ref planes as wall closure, but I guess you tried that already?
Could you post the family?
I dont think you can set multiple ?
Family attached
Hi,
There's only one reference plane with Wall closure allowed (possible), so a work-a-round would be:
Use 2 families (Frame + void) to make the corner window (pro: one family for both sides)
Or
Use the family you have and remove the voids for one leg of the window and use a second empty family with only a void), this will need more attention as the 2nd family with only the void in not "linked" to the first.
Choice depends on the output en requirements of the model.

Like the message says - you can't have more than two wall closures. Ref plane Frame - Face Internal is also marked as wall closure. Remove the checkmark and set it for the correct plane on the other side:
Wrapping is a total mess in this example, but it's a consistent mess on both sides ![]()
Ah. cheers @Simon_Weel for pointing that out! Rookie Revit user mistake not reading the error dialogue fully haha. Unfortunately due to the complex requirements of my intended wall wraps (with the plasterboard wrapping into frame internally and cladding overlapping the face of the window frame), I need both frame face external and internal to be wall closure planes.
It's been a while since I worked on these families so I forgot I already had two planes acting as wall closures. I guess that would mean I need 4 to be active if the return is to function as I want it to...
Look like I'm going to have to go down the botched route of placing an empty window opening family on top of my window.
