Embedding a Wall into Another Wall

  1. Sketch a host wall of any type in the drawing area. The host wall can be a straight wall or an arc wall.

    Keep in mind the following when you are sketching the wall:

    • If the host wall is an arc wall, the embedded wall must be a concentric arc.
    • Be sure the embedded wall is shorter in length than the host wall.
    • If the embedded wall is within the boundary of the host wall, Revit issues a warning and advises you to use the Cut Geometry tool.
  2. Click Modify | Place Wall tab Geometry panel Cut.

    When using the Cut Geometry tool, do not select the shorter wall first and then the larger host.

  3. Select the host wall.
  4. Select the wall to embed into the host wall.

    The wall is now embedded. If necessary, resize the embedded wall by selecting it and using the drag controls.
