Slanted Walls – Leaning Walls

Slanted Walls – Leaning Walls

Revit cannot lean out a wall. You can hear and read many discussions about it, but still it has not been fully explained. You can use a curtain wall surface or formed from using mass. But in my opinion it is cryptic, difficult and cumbersome. I would rather advise Revit users to use a structural beam family. It is easy to model it from one floor level to another level using a reference plane. You can use cut geometry to remove the unwanted areas.



Hopefully that someday, Autodesk will listen to us to add this leaning wall tool, with an opening tool in it, 'cause adding windows or doors to it is such a pain.
I have suggested this item to AUGI Revit Structure Wish List and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it will take an attention in the next voting round.
