I'm new to Revit and i'm guessing most of you will realize that. I'm running Revit Architecture 2009 and i'm having trouble getting my walls in with brick on them. I created a new wall with a 2x4 core and 4" brick veneer. In plan view, it does not hatch the 4" brick section, it just shows the wall as uniform. In 3d view the brick is there but i see distinct horizontal lines at each level. I tried just adding a brick veneer as a separate wall, but the wall doesn't recoginze the window and door openings in the separate core wall. What would be the correct way to enter walls with brick, and have the brick show as a different material in plan view? And also have it as a pure curtain in 3d view. any help is greatly appreciated.

Assuming you assigned a brick material to the wall. You have to check 2 things. 1. Your view is set to a setting other than course. (Medium detail or Fine detail.) If that doesnt work... 2. Your brick material might not have a hatch assigned to it. here is a link to change #1 http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2009/05/detail-level-icons-2010.html For #2, go to settings>materials...select the brick material, make sure you have a cut pattern selecte. As far as the lines at the levels, are you drawing new walls at each level? You should treat the building how it really gets built. If the brick wall starts in the basement and extends to the roof, do that.

Ok that did it. I had upped my detail to fine. Thanks a lot. I am drawing the walls at different levels. So here is the thing. I have 2 levels, basement and main. Basement is 2x6 with brick and main has 2x4 that is brick. Right now I have the lower walls with brick then the main walls also have brick which is giving me the horizontal line. So how do I draw it as built as suggested? If I draw the brick as a separete wall and extend it from the lower level to the roof, I can either put the windows and doors in the brick or the core wall but the remaining doesn't recognize the opening. thanks alot for the help. I really appreciate it. J

You can do it either way. Experience will tell you which way works best for your project. If you want to use the the 2 stacked walls, here are your options 1. Use a stack wall type. This will merge the materials that are similar.2. Or you can go the route of the 2 walls one on top of the other (if you need to be very flexible with your wall construction this is sometimes the better method). To get the 2 materials to join, use the Join geometry to merge the similar materials. This is a little more work, since you have to join multiple time, but if gives better flexiblity if you have a complex shell. 1 or 2 is the better choice, however, if you needed to have the brick as a "veneer" and the interiors construction as seperate walls you can do that too. Just join the interior wall with the exterior veneer and then place the opening. I would place it in the structural wall. The join command will allow the brick wall to be cut by the opening that is now inside of the wall it is joined to. -travis
