Wall layout, design, and editing with Revit - Creating and revising walls

Step-by-step guide

Draw walls with and without chain enabled, use the direct distance entry technique, and apply flip controls for wall reorientation.

With chain disabled, each wall is created separately.

In the Revit interface, in the Options Bar, the disabled Chain option highlighted in red, and in the view, 2 separate walls created.

In the Options Bar, the selected Chain option is highlighted in red, and in the view, the walls being created are connected.

In the View Control Bar, Detail Level expanded with Medium selected.

You can now see the layers of the wall.

Select one of the existing walls and use the temporary dimensions to change the distance between the walls.

With layers now displayed on the walls, one wall selected, and a new temporary dimension entered.

One wall selected, with the Flip control selected.

Now, there are no flip controls.

In the view, multiple walls selected to show that no flip controls appear.

In a zoomed-out view, all created walls selected for deletion.
