As a continuation from another thread I post in regarding faceted ceilings (http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=25330) - I'm now attempting to make walls by face of the mass I created as an alternative to a floor object. The issue is that Revit does not allow me to pick all of the faces for the wall to host to. As far as I can see there is nothing special about the condition that Revit is not allowing me host to. Does anyone know why this would be?

Tricksy Revit - I think I figured it out. The highlighted faces ended up being perfeectly horizontal so Revit ignored them. I ended up building regular ceilings in these areas. The remainder are walls by face.

After this exercise though, I think doing a faceted, double sloping ceiling using wall objects may work the best versus my previous study creating them as floors. We'll see how they work out. If anyone has created something similar using different elements let me know!
