  2. If desired, on the Options Bar, select Delete Inner Segment. When you select this option, Revit removes the segment of the wall or line between selected points.

    Wall with removed inner segment

  4. When you split a wall, the resulting parts are individual walls that can be worked on independently.

    When you split a pipe, a fitting is added according to the settings in the routing preferences. Revit uses the contents of the Union field. If a Union is not defined, then Revit uses the contents of the Flange field. If both a Union and a Flange are defined, the contents of the Flange field are used. When you split a duct, Revit uses the contents of the Union field.

    See Specify Routing Preferences for Duct.
