When posting new ideas remember to check whether they have not perhaps been posted already. For example, if you want to keep small expansion spaces between walls, you can do so by disallowing joins for either of the adjacent wall ends. However, you can prevent joins for a selected wall whenever necessary. I have done so this morning and added a comment illustrating the above situation. By default, Revit creates a join where 2 walls intersect. With regards to Autodesk including the capability in future versions, please vote for this idea. Then move the witness lines to the positions on the wall required, and then delete the door. Subsequent to detailing the above workaround, my colleague shared his workaround: Insert a door in the wall and dimension that instead (to my mind more elegant). Or use the join tool, in which case the wall join type may be set (Squared off, Mitred or Butt)Įdit the Witness lines use tab to select the point required if necessary. This does not happen with a Structural Column family. The wall join tool may also be used to disallow the wall join.Īfter both ends have been disjoined, dimension the wall as required FYI, When you snap a wall to an Architectural Column, it will wrap the finish layers around the column and override its material to have the same graphics as the core layer of the wall. RMC on the blue dot that appears at the end of the selected wall. I prefer the following workaround instead.ĭisallow the walls join to which it is required to create the dimension. Here is a reference to the workflow suggested by Autodesk, which achieves the result by cutting adjoining walls to clipboard and then pasting them back into place. It helps if one has the Thin Lines tool toggled off (the visual cues are much clearer then).Ī variety of challenges and some solutions to them are contained in this Autodesk Knowledge Network page.

In the case that the wall joins are mitred it is possible to tab to the intersection of the walls, but it is a laborious process and requires one to observe closely what is selected. It can be quite tricky to dimension inclined walls in Revit.
