Hi, I know that Revit is designed to do LOD 400 for shop drawings or even as built drawing with LOD 500, but what is the best practice to draw walls like in the attached image, with all details, even if I have metal stud behind an internal finishes, is it an option to draw some finishes in a separate wall and locate it in place, if answer is yes, how we will deal with windows & other openings, also how can we control the thickness of the wrapping finishes at inserts or at the ends, the command (Cut Profile) from view tab is not so good to be an option for shop drawings, what to do if I want to wrap structure layer in the wall with a certain thickness? & a lot of other similar questions especially related to walls.

I hope to get an answer from some experts in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

I would draw that wall as one type with all layers. 

I don't know what you mean by: "with all details, even if I have metal stud behind an internal finishes".  Yes, with all layers - there are no details here, just wall layers that are material typed.  Obviously, the wall shown starts at the footer and the type might change at the floor line if there is interior furring and finishes.  But that is another wall type - the fdn wall would end and this would be above it.

When we have an interior finish that is only partial height like a tile wainscot, we do a thin venner wall - only tile - that is placed against the main wall.   The main wall hosts all doors and windows.   When you then join this inner wall to the main wall, the doors and windows will cut both walls as required.  

You can use Revit Parts to do a 3D view like you show but elements like the brick anchors would not typically be in the overall project and are not in the wall types.

Door and window wrapping at jambs can be controlled in the family and wall type settings.  I don't understand why cut profile doesn't work for shop drawing.
