I have some CMU walls that go floor to roof and at midheight a poured concrete floor that bears half way on the CMU wall.  Currently (see attached) the floor and wall blend through each other.  Is there a way to make the wall disapear "behind" the floor, or to have the floor "cut" the wall?  I could put a region over the CMU wall but that would entail a lot of little regions and it would be much nicer to do it with a setting.  Thanks for the help.

Edit the floor sketch - change something - anything, then when finished, Revit will sk if you want to cut walls out where the floor intersects and you answer YES.

The only mesasage I get is "would you like walls that go up to this floor's level to attach to it's bottom?".  I have never seen the message you noted.  I am on v2012.  Is there a way to manually do it?

Maybe that has gone away.  It should not have if it has.

In your section, from the geometry tab, pick join, then select your wall and floor.

That's got it.  Why didn't I think of that.  Brain farts all around.  Thanks for the reminder
