Product Enhancement: More features and control over the "Split with Gab" tool

Product Enhancement: More features and control over the "Split with Gab" tool

Customer Enhancement Request: 
A) We would like to be able to modify the gap in the walls after we have created them. Currently one would need to recreate the wall or manually modify the length/width of the wall, if the gab were to be changed - the option to do so would greatly improve productivity. 

 

B) Also, we mainly do Tilt-up panel buildings and need a centerline to show the mid-point in the gap so that we may dimension to it and be able to grab it and move it to stretch the walls. Right now we are having to draw a detail line and copy it each time to each panel joint but of course when we move it the panel joint doesn’t move with it. We then have to create an offset and then trim the walls back to that point. I understand that not everyone will want to see a centerline so I was hoping there could be a feature where you can check a box to turn it off or on.

 

At the moment the feature doesn't generate a separate component referenced as the actual split, which is probably why it lacks the options to be modified. It simply splits them into two elements/walls and leaves it afterwards. 

 

All in all there are room for improvement on that side.

For tilt-up walls, we just use full-height doors (the full height of the wall/panel). That way you can dimension to the center AND they're movable. I've never found the "Split with Gap" tool to be useful for anything - it's not precise enough / no control. Emoticono triste

Have you tried using Parts? It won't solve the dimension issue you mentioned, but using this to panelize a single wall works very well. Also, Parts can host structural reinforcement. 

 

If you've already tried that and didn't like Parts, would be interested in hearing about that.

@d-denton Thanks for the suggestion, but I just tried using Parts and the workflow is very cumbersome (at least for this use). You have to make rectangles (you can't just draw a line where you want a joint) buried in multiple levels of commands/dialogs (first Create Parts, then Divide Parts, then draw and Finish multiple? rectangles). Then after all those hoops, it can't be driven by the dimension. I must say, there are some positives: you don't have to worry about the height of the wall and you can make a joint that's truly zero width (assuming that's what you want). If I'm doing something wrong, let me know.

If you use reference planes for the divisions, you can drive them with dimensions in a layout plan. We name the reference planes based on pour numbering. You can do many divisions at one time by selecting more than one part when using divide.

You also might take a look at the Revit addin PartsLab to expedite the parts creation. It's free.
