Hi Guys

I need to create a wall which has a layer that consists of vertical battens and another layer that consists of horizontal battens both with air gaps in between them. I imagine this would be possible with a curtain wall but does that not then make it difficult to put doors and windows in? All my walls will be simple straight walls.

I am using Revit Architechture 2010.

Would appreciate any advice you can give

You could do this with wall sweeps.  The vertical would have to be in-place rather than in the wall definition.  I would do them both in place. 

I might think about doing the battons as an in-place family and use a void to cut where I need it it the in-place family.  Category would be wall.  All the horizontals would be one extrusion and all the verticals would be another.  Then the void extrusion.  Pretty simple.

Can you add vertical + horizontal elements in a wall sweep at certain intervals?
