revit 2010:returned plaster layer in the joint of walls in continuity

[mircoambrosi]

Good morning, my name is mirco ambrosi and I am new to this forum.
I'm trying to use revit 2010 for no more than three weeks after eight years of autocad usage.
the problem that I have been assillating for a few days concerns the twist of the plaster layer in the joint of walls in continuity with variable thickness.
thanking you in advance, I attach some images for greater clarity:

Hi, Mirco.

If you go to the top tense dx "research" you find in the discussions what you are looking for.:smile:

command: merge geometry.
the layers to be joined, present in the two types of wall, must be of the same material

 

[mircoambrosi]

thanks for the interest and timeliness first.
the two walls in question are composed of the same layers and materials-I tried to join them but it does not work.
If it can help a greater deepening of the stratification I can attach a more detailed image of the tables because that post I have noticed is not visible.

However, I would like to raise a deepening: in the redesign of an existing historical building I find myself to have continuous changes in plant of the thickness of the walls.
not to mention the case of geometries trapezie at the base of the walls.
I noticed that the generation of irregular masonry through the modeling tools leads to later problems in the union with layered floors as well as the impossibility to connect the wall element so generated to the cover.
I wondered then if there is no way to set a central layer of masonry as a variable thickness element in the case of trapeze-based masonry and if there is instead a faster way to generate a linear masonry to frequent variation of the thickness without having to change the wall to every enlargement in the plant.
or if, alternatively, there is no graphic control method to interact directly on the masonry in the plant to vary its thickness without having to intervene from the table of the properties.
I hope I've been clearer.

you can use a wall to which you add an extrusion on the path.
search in the forum, the topic has already been discussed... .

No. the masonry are default families. changes are carried out only by the property.
the types are univocal, varying a type (increased thickness) all the walls of that type vary.
then you have to create many types of wall for each variation of thickness/material
