#REVIT WALL JOIN PROBLEMS HOW TO#

You can verify that your elements are correctly joined with Isolate/Restore button that isolates temporarily the two categories.

With the Join & Switch tool, you can, in one click join elements then switch the join order automatically.

Don't forget a single element anymore and waste time in looking for undone elements.

The new tool 'Walls Cleaning' allow you to join all stacked walls to generate a clean facade.

Perform thousands of Join operations (Join, Unjoin and Switch join) in seconds.

Very intuitive interface that doesn't need any prior adaptation time.

With a very powerful algorithm, speed up your tasks and work smarter and faster. if A1 is None: joining is not calculated.SpeedJoin for AutodeskВ® RevitВ® is a minimalist Addin that helps users to do in just three clicks what normally took hundreds of clicks and a lot of time. if A1 have to join with B but B1 no -> we have a T joint, we also need a wall end cutting algo. if A1 (wall A startpoint) have to join with B and B1 have to join with A -> we have a corner joint between wall A startpoint and wall B startpoint -> we can calculate the bisector plane between walls and cut the two walls starting. endpoint join with wall = (None or other_wall_name) startpoint join with wall = (None or other_wall_name) I think we can handle lots of cases of joining wall whith the following properties: Those walls are the one i'd like to use more.

I think another point is that we can have:ДЎ - walls that are based on several type of objects (wires, faces, complex sketches):ДЎ.1 walls based on wires, faces, solids, work really really good i thinkДЎ.2 walls based on complex sketches are also good, but i didnt experiment too much with them.Дў - walls that have just one segment (WallTrace sketch based): Maybe we could use BuildingParts for this? A BuildingPart that would behave as a 'join group', that would union all its contents by material and would take care of extending/trimming everything where needed? That's no small task, but maybe the most elegant and practical.

#REVIT WALL JOIN PROBLEMS HOW TO#

How to join walls correctly? And when they have several layers? There is a big wall joining algorithm needed there. But then, there is that hierarchical problem, and it gets a bit dirty/unclear in the tree, and there is a lot of extra calculationД«ut this is only a small part of the problem. You would need to add extra edges at intersections, etc.ДЈ) They do connect automatically in the model. I tried this already (you can remove some edges from the coin node, it's easy), but it quickly gets complicated. Basically, some edges are not displayed so they look like if they were boolean unioned. In IFC, you also normally have individual walls.Дў) They don't fuse automatically in the model, but they look like if they were fused. That's already partially implemented already (techdraw and draft shape2dview). Three main possibilities here:ДЎ) They don't connect automatically in the model, but they do in all the 'outputs' (export to other file formats, techdraw, etc). You would just draw your walls and they would connect automatically.

The best of the best, would be that you don't need to worry about this at all. To be honest, I don't yet have a clear answer to this problem.Д«ut I fully agree, the current system is not good for walls.
