Wall Reveal Type Properties

To modify a type property of a wall reveal, you change the value of the corresponding parameter as described under Modifying Type Properties.

Note: Changing a wall reveal type property will affect all wall reveals of that type in the project. Note also that the type name does not update when you change type parameter values. For example, you could use the type parameter Structure to change the width of the Generic - 6” wall type to 6.5”, but the type name will remain Generic - 6”. If you want to create a new wall reveal type, click Duplicate. For more information, see Creating a New Family Type in a Project.

Common type properties for wall reveals are described below.

Name	Description
Constraints
Default Setback	A length value whose default is 0.0. When set to positive or negative values, the ends of the wall reveal curve pull back or push forward by the designated amount when they are interrupted at an insert. This allows you to quickly set wall reveals properly near window or door trims. This value is overwritten when you pull the ends manually.
Construction
Profile	The profile family used to create the reveal.
