Basic Walls
The Revit Architecture default template includes several wall types. The most
basic wall types have no detailed structure and are named with the prefix
Generic for easy identification. Other wall types have highly detailed structures
known as layers. Each layer is assigned a function, material, and thickness. The
function of a wall layer determines how it will join when multiple wall types
intersect or when a wall intersects another element such as a floor.
1. On the Architecture tab in the ribbon, click the Wall tool.
2. In the Type Selector at the top of the Properties palette, select the
Generic - 8″ (200 mm) Masonry wall type.
3. Click Edit Type just below the Type Selector.
4. Click the Preview button at the lower left in the Type Properties dia-
log to see a graphic sample of the wall type.
In Figure 2.1, the structural region of this wall is defined by a diagonal cross-
hatch pattern. This is a basic wall with only one pattern defining the wall's
material.
