Revit Structure
Revit Structure| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Location Line | Specifies the position of the wall with respect to the line sketched in the project elevation. For more information, see Placing Walls. The wall location line remains the same for that wall, even if the type changes. |
| Base Constraint | Specifies the level from which the wall base is referenced. |
| Base Offset | Specifies the offset of the base of the wall from its base constraint. |
| Base is Attached | Indicates whether the base of the wall is attached to another component, such as a structural floor. This is a read-only value. |
| Base Extension Distance | Indicates the distance you have moved the base of the layers in a wall. See Compound Structure. This parameter is enabled when the layers of a wall are set to extendable. |
| Top Constraint | The name of the level to which the wall top is set. |
| Unconnected Height | If top constraint is unconnected, you may set an unconnected height of the wall. This value is read-only if there is a top constraint. |
| Top Offset | Specifies the offset of the top of the wall from its top constraint; enabled only when the top constraint is set to a level. |
| Top is Attached | Indicates whether the top of the wall is attached to another component, such as a structural floor. This is a read-only value. |
| Top Extension Distance | Indicates the distance you have moved the top of the layers in a wall. See Compound Structure. This parameter is enabled when the layers of a wall are set to extendable. |
| Room Bounding | Indicates whether the wall is part of a room boundary. This parameter is enabled after you place the wall. |
| Related to Mass | This is a read-only value. |
| Structural | |
| Rebar Cover - Exterior Face | Specifies the rebar cover distance from the wall exterior face. |
| Rebar Cover - Interior Face | Specifies the rebar cover distance from the wall interior face. |
| Rebar Cover - Other Faces | Specifies the rebar cover distance from the faces of adjacent elements. |
| Estimated Reinforcement Volume | Specifies the estimated reinforcement volume of the selected element. This is a read-only parameter that only displays when rebar has been placed. |
| Structural | Specifies the wall as being a structural element able to posses an analytical model. |
| Enable Analytical Model | Displays the analytical model and includes it in analytical calculations. Selected by default. See Disabling the Analytical Model. |
| Structural Usage | Either Bearing, Shear, or Structural Combined. The structural use of the wall. |
| Dimensions | |
| Length | Indicates the length of the wall. This is a read-only value. |
| Area | Indicates the area of the wall. This is a read-only value. |
| Volume | Indicates the volume of the wall. This is a read-only value. |
| Identity Data | |
| Comments | A field for entering comments about the wall. |
| Mark | A label created for the wall. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you when the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | Indicates in which phase the wall component was created. See Project Phasing. |
| Phase Demolished | Indicates in which phase the wall component was demolished. See Project Phasing. |
| Identity Data (Analytical Walls) | |
| Surface Number | An identifier created for the analytical surface. This value should be unique across Analytical Floors, Analytical Foundation Slabs and Analytical Walls in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages. |
| Comments | User comments. |
| Analytical Model | |
| Analyze As | Either, Gravity, Lateral, or Gravity and Lateral. Used by external analysis applications to determine whether beam conditions contribute to lateral analysis. |
| Analytical Properties | |
| Family Type | The family type of the element. |
| Physical Material Asset | The name of a physical asset assigned to the wall material (read-only). |
| Length | The length of the analytical model. |
| Cross-Section Rotation | Parameter that controls rotating beams and braces. The angle of rotation is measured from the beam’s work plane and the direction of the center reference plane. |
| Analytical Alignment | |
| Alignment Method |
Either Auto-Detect or Projection. Specifies if the horizontal reference of the wall is automatically justified or has a defined projection. |
| z Projection |
Either Interior Face of Element, Center of Element, Exterior Face of Element, Center of Core, <Grids...>, or <Reference Planes...>. Specifies the horizontal plane of the wall used for analysis and design. Available when Projection is specified as Alignment Method. Specifies the location of the analytical model surface. |
| Top Extension Method |
Either Auto-Detect or Projection. Specifies if the vertical extension of the top of the wall is automatically justified or has a defined projection. |
| Top y Projection |
Either Top of Wall, <Level...>, or <Reference Planes...>. Available when Top Extension Method is specified as Projection. Specifies the vertical extension limits of the analytical model at the top of the wall. |
| Base Extension Method | Either Auto-Detect or Projection. Specifies if the vertical extension of the bottom of the wall is automatically justified or has a defined projection. |
| Base y Projection |
Either Bottom of Wall, <Level...>, or <Reference Planes...>. Available when Base Extension Method is specified as Projection. Specifies the vertical extension limits of the analytical model at the base of the wall. |
