Cuts an element (such as a wall or pipe) at a selected point, or removes a segment between 2 points.
- Click Modify tab
Modify panel
(Split Element).
- 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.
- Click the element at the point you wish to split. If you selected Delete Inner Segment, click at another point to remove a segment.
When you split a wall, the resulting parts are individual walls that can be worked on independently. When you split an MEP element, such as a pipe, the individual segments are no longer connected.
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. When you split a cable tray or conduit, Revit uses the contents of the Union field in the Type Properties.
See Specify Routing Preferences for Duct.
Note: For MEP Fabrication parts, the Split tool does not insert a coupling. To place a coupling, select the desired coupling from the MEP Fabrication Parts palette, and use the Insert Part tool. See Tools for Placing Fabrication Parts in Revit.
