Walls Copied to Revit Structure Are Inaccurate

Symptom: Walls copied from Revit Architecture to Revit Structure are not positioned properly.

Issue: When you copied a wall from Revit Architecture to Revit Structure, you changed the wall type to represent the structural core. However, the copied walls do not align with the core of the architectural walls.

This problem occurs because a copied wall is positioned based on the centerline of the wall, not the centerline of the core of the wall. If the centerline of the structural wall does not match the centerline of the architectural wall, the copied walls are not positioned properly.

    Solution 2: This solution uses the Copy/Monitor tools for a linked model.

  1. Copy the walls for monitoring, as described in Copying Elements for Monitoring. During that process, set options for the walls to copy (Step 8), as described in Specifying Options for Copy/Monitor.
  2. If the walls have the reverse orientation (interior/exterior), select a wall and use the flip control or press the space bar to change its orientation. See Flip Controls.
  3. Stop monitoring the walls.
  4. Select the walls and, on the Properties palette, change the wall location line to Core Centerline.
  5. Change the wall type to the appropriate structural core wall type.
  6. Monitor the walls in the linked model.
