I would like to create concrete panel walls that are precast on the floor (or off site) and stood up side by side with 15mm gap between.

Panels are normally 'vee' arrised. I find that even when I creat one panel and array it along the wall line with the gap it still shows as a single wall and each panel seems to 'weld' itself to the nect so that in the rendered model the gap is not seen. Can anyone help me to find a way to make the panels stand out, like modifying a wall reveal?

This is one of those places where maybe you should not model as you build.

I have used walls for precast panels and used void vertical sweeps to cut the walls into panels.  Then if I need to tag panels seperately, I use a IDF - Invisible family that can be tagged and I add one of these to each panel section.

If you want individual wall sections, then you must place each panel and turn off wall joins on each end.

I've seen lots of comments on this... I've tried a few different methods in creating tilt-up panels.  all lack what I'm looking for.

I ended up creating a family with a ridiculous amount of customization.  Only problem I ran into - couldn't host a door in it.  Couldn't even put a door in the family and have it turn on/off based on toggles.

so I end up with my panels as families, customizable sizes, reveals, window openings, and knock outs - and then I draw a wall behind it, and mount doors in that.  I then hide the wall in all views.

it feels like less work to me since I'll have 6-7 different panel types in a warehouse made of 100 panels.  I always end up with problems from the voids.  Especially if I just need to mirror the panel. :-|

I've attached it if you want to look at it.
