Slanted Wall - Leaning Wall: Part 2


The slanted wall or leaning wall shown below is often a question asked in the various Revit forums and also in our office. Let me guide you on how to do it in addition to the method that I early published way backed in 2010. 


The following are steps to follow:
1. You start an In-Place Mass. Enter a name whatever you like.

2. Create the Mass with a face that is at an angle you want to create. Tip: create your Mass in a 3D view wherein you can choose a wall face to use as a work plane. You are not doing the actual Mass of the targeted Wall. It is just the face of the angled wall.

3. Make the necessary adjustment and finish the Mass.


4. Go to Architect and Site tab, Wall tool, and select Wall by Face.

5. Pick the angled face of the Mass you have just created.

6. Do the wall editing profile on both sides to include the slanted portion.

7. The resulting model will be as shown below.

8. Place your wall openings using your standard door or window family.
