Okay, So I'm fairly new at Revit, only really been playing with it for a few months or so. When I was trying to model this building I ran into a problem. So heres the Text description of the wall, a CAD section is attached. We have a 10" foundation wall that meets a Staggered stud wall. The foundation wall extends 4 feet above grade on the interior set of studs, but the exterior staggered stud extends down to the bottom of the wall. I tried making this wall with two interlocking wall types, one being the foundation with a 4' x 6" sweep on top, then making the upper wall with a matching reveal. I then placed them on their appropriate levels and it looks perfect... until I tried to have a door cut in, It will only cut through one host. I thought about making it out of three wall types, 1) just foundation, 2) Stud outside, Concrete inside (4' tall), and 3) the double stud portion. This should work but seems really messy. What is the best way to tackle this wall? My Revit version is 2010 SP1

"until I tried to have a door cut in, It will only cut through one host." - Try to use the "Join Geometry tool", select the two walls....

I tried attaching them and it didn't appear to change anything. Attached are two new photos from Revit, the first one, the section, I highlighted the lower wall to show the the delineation between the two walls. The second shows the a door in plan not cutting through the interior Concrete wall. Thanks for your help

If I am looking at this correctly, you have an "interlocking wall" ... they partialyl overlap vertically. I don't see how this will work and obviously, you say that it doesn't. I would do as 3 walls vertically - one on top of the other. You can define this as a stacked wall using 3 wall definitions.

Yea I kinda figured that I was going to have to go with the Stacked Wall Type, I just have been avoiding it because I tried it when I was just starting out in Revit and I ran into some problem that I can't remember now. Looked on Forums then and found a few posts that said whatever it was I wanted to do couldn't be done with a "Stacked wall" and could only be done with two basic walls on top of each other. (I wish i could remember what it was). Anyways, The stacked wall type works perfect. Thanks guys.

The problem with stacked walls is adjoinig walls. If they are not the smae exactly, you will have clean-up issues. You will also have issues with edit profile. So, after you create and use a stacked wall, you can always right click on the stack and choose break up. This will just split the wall back into individual walls in their relative position where they were in the stack.
