Description

This AddIn gives direct control over the wall join order.

It's intended for use with complex wall joins where the standard UI interface is inefficient. It is espcially useful with stacked walls, where there are a very large number of order permutations.

Usage

Select a wall involved in the join to be edited, clicking near the end of the wall with the join.

• A dialog will appear, listing the walls involed in this join.
• Selecting a wall with the list will highlight the wall within the design.
• The wall join order change be changed by moving each wall up and down with the list of priorities using the Up and Down buttons.
• The join type can be changed between butt, miter and square off.

Where the join occurs in the middle of a wall with no vertical edge to join to, that wall must have the highest join priority, and the join type must be a butt joint.

Where the join occurs in the middle of a wall and at a vertical edge within that wall, the join can be edited as normal.

Limitations

• It is only possible to change the type of a join and the order in which the walls join. Adding or removing a wall from a join still requires dragging wall ends into and out of the join.
• The current Revit API currently associates wall joins with will ends. This means that:
  • A wall join that occurs in the middle of a wall can only be editted by selecting one of the other walls in this join.
  • A wall join that does not occur at the end of any wall (e.g. intersecting walls with openings of non-rectangular profiles) cannot be edited.
