To modify an instance property of a wall, you change the value of the corresponding parameter on the Properties palette, as described under Modifying Instance Properties.
Common instance properties for walls are described below.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Location Line | A location line for the wall at the specified plane. The wall location line remains the same for that wall, even if the type changes. |
| Location Line Offset (for walls used as panels only) | Offsets the wall panel the specified distance and in a direction perpendicular to the face of the curtain wall. |
| Base Constraint | The base level of the wall. For example, Level 1. |
| Base Offset | The wall's height from its base constraint. This property is available only when the Base Constraint is set to a level. |
| Base Is Attached | Indicates whether the base of the wall is attached to another model component, such as a floor (read-only). |
| Base Extension Distance | The distance you have moved the base of the layers in a wall. See Compound Structure. This parameter is enabled when layers of a wall are extendable. |
| Top Constraint | Wall height extends to the value specified in Unconnected Height. |
| Unconnected Height | The height of the wall when it is sketched, measured upwards from its base. |
| Top Offset | The offset of the wall from the top level. This parameter is enabled only when the Top Constraint is set to a level. |
| Top is Attached | Indicates whether the wall top is attached to another model component, such as a roof or ceiling (read-only). |
| Top Extension Distance | The distance you have moved the top of the layers in a wall. See Compound Structure. This parameter is enabled when layers of a wall are extendable. |
| Room Bounding | If selected, the wall is part of a room boundary. If cleared, the wall is not part of a room boundary. This property is read-only before creating a wall. After you draw the wall, you can select it and then modify this property. |
| Related to Mass | Indicates that the element was created from a mass element. This is a read-only value. |
| Structural | |
| Structural Usage | The structural usage of the wall. This property is read-only before creating a wall. After you draw the wall, you can select it and then modify this property. |
| Dimensions | |
| Length | The length of the wall (read-only). |
| Area | The area of the wall (read-only). |
| Volume | The volume of the wall (read-only). |
| Identity Data | |
| Comments | Specific comments added to describe the wall. |
| Mark | A label applied to a wall. Usually a numeric value. This value must be unique for each wall 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. |
| Categorize as | Indicates whether the wall panel should schedule as a curtain panel or a wall. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | The phase when the wall was created. |
| Phase Demolished | The phase when the wall was demolished. |
