Walls

Like other basic elements in a Revit building model, walls are instances of predefined system family types, which represent standard varieties of wall function, composition, and thickness. You can customize these characteristics by modifying a wall’s type properties to add or remove layers, divide them into regions, and change their thickness or assigned material.

After you place a wall in a drawing, you can add sweeps or reveals, edit the wall’s profile, and insert hosted components such as doors and windows.
