About In-Place Walls

In-place walls are created using the same free-form geometry as component families. They are assigned to the Wall category so they are treated as walls when you use certain features such as visibility/graphics control, schedules, and room bounding.

However, in-place walls do not support many features of system wall families, including wall join controls, constraints, wall layers, and wall types.

When creating in-place walls, remember the following:

• The resulting wall family exists only in the current project; it cannot be loaded into other projects.
• The new wall family name displays in the Project Browser under FamiliesWalls.
• Each in-place wall can have only one instance. When you copy an in-place wall, a new wall type is created for the copy. Some type properties are not carried forward to the new wall type.
• In-place walls can be included in a wall schedule. See Schedules.
