Chapter 13 Architectural Design; Walls - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

Architectural Design
Revit Architecture provides various familiar components for building design. No programming language or coding is
required to create these components.

Walls

Walls can function as interior, exterior, foundation, retaining, soffit, or core-shaft. All walls have a structure
that can be defined through the type properties of the wall. In addition, various instance and type properties
can be specified to define the appearance of the wall.
You create a wall by drawing the location line of the wall in a plan view, ceiling plan view, or 3D view. Revit
Architecture applies the thickness, height, and other properties of the wall around the location line of the
wall. The location line is a plane in the wall that does not change, even if the wall type changes. For example,
if you draw a wall and specify its location line as Core Centerline, the location line remains there, even if
you select that wall and change it to another type or change its structure.
