Hello, Revit gurus

I want to adjust the weight of the wrapping around my window openning in plan view (see image please).

Is it possible?

The problem is in your window, select the window and goto properties, check if you have any parameter to control that, if not you'll have to edit the family and create one.

Hi Typhoon, thank you for the responce. Here is my workflow:

First I cut the wall with voids to form the right hole for my window.

Then I apply Wall Closure to a reference plane (see image) which represents the front of my window frame.

However I cant get the result I want (the red graphic).

What parameter whould i use to change the weight of my insulation wrap?

I dont want to create wall sweep for every window in my project ...

One question: In project don't you have that window in the wrong side? I mean, use the "control" to switch the exterior / interior.

No, the window is put wright.

Here is one solution:

We make 2 layers of insulation and apply Wrap only on the exterior one. (see first image)

Then to remove the line that separate them we go to V/G Overrides and uncheck Walls/Common Edge.

That however romves all the Common Edges in the project .

The problem remains in sections, where I realised Wrap doesent work, so Detail Lines and Fill Patterns will be used.

I think that I should make another family with Wall Sweep and align it to every window.

Thanks for your help Typhoon.
