Using Revit 2011.So I have a MTL Building wall section.  Metal Panel on the out, liner panel on the interior.  Is there a way to attached the exterior finish to the roof but not the interior finish?  Say if I want the interior finish to stop at 8' AFF.  I can use the modify, but that requires me to "Detach all" which is fine, but on a Rake condition it jacks up the exterior elevations.Would using a profile wall sweep for the interior the best solution here?Thanks for your help?

You can unlock the inner layer in the wall definition and set its height independent of the wall in a section view.

That is what I was doing, (See section image attached) but you can not modify that ht. unless you "Detach" the wall from the roof.  Doing this produced the result I want on the wall section but not on the building elevation. See the results in the attached "elevation" image.

 Thanks

It seems that you are correct.  If you attach the wall to the roof, the layer will not be editable.  However, you can edit the layer and edit the wall profile to meet the underside of the roof.  That does work.

Yeah that is what I had also thought of, but thought it would really be handy if I could just attach separate wall components.  Like I mentioned, this is really only an issue at endwall / Rake conditions so I guess for now I will just modify the wall boundary in elevation instead of using Attach. Thanks,

After further review, the editing the profile of the wall in elevation does not work either.  This forces all wall elements to this new profile, which gets me back to the same problem.  For now an interior wall sweep is the only way around this issue that I have found.

 Thanks,

I tested this and it worked for me.  I pulled the inner layer down from the overall heigth of the wall then edited the profile above that line.  You may not be able to edit the profile first.

 

A second solution is to have two walls.  One with everything except the ineer layer and the other being a tin wall of only the inner layer.  You can then join these two walls in plan and all doors/windows hosted by one wall will cut the other.

Using Revit 2011 it does not work.  If you adjust the interior of wall in your section then adjust the profile of the wall it pulls all wall components together.  Unless I'm not clicking something or loosing my mind it does not work.  Appreciate your time on this WWHub.

Thanks
