Split Elements

Cuts an element (such as a wall or pipe) at a selected point, or removes a segment between 2 points.

  1. Click Modify tabModify panel (Split Element).
  2. If desired, on the Options Bar, select Delete Inner Segment. When you select this option, Revit LT removes the segment of the wall or line between selected points.
  3. Click the element at the point you wish to split. If you selected Delete Inner Segment, click at another point to remove a segment.
  4. 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.

    Note: The Split with Gap command does not apply to structural framing beam families.
