Peter thank you so much, this is going to save me a lot of time, I was doing it by editing the profile but when there is an inmense quantity of doors it just becomes overwhelming.
Hello - I was wondering if there's a similar (i.e. easy :) way to do this that incorporates "rectangular straight wall openings"? I have a stem wall with ventilation openings that I am trying to add a stone veneer to in parts. But when I join the new stone wall to the existing concrete wall (with the openings) the openings don't carry through. Any thoughts?
For the ventilation opening (or any opening in a wall for that matter) you want to create a parametric family for that opening. Just like modelling a window or a door, you’d create a family and model it into an opening of your choosing within that family. For this trick to work there needs to be a family with an opening installed on the primary centre wall. Thus, any wall joined to that primary wall will show an opening. Give it a go and let me know how you go, thanks
Hi there, you’ll have to go into the door family and make sure the cut distance of the opening is producing enough so that it cuts into other layers. To confirm this try using a default door family and see what happens. Let me know how you go 👍
@@petermolloyarchitect Actually, I did that with different type of doors. most of them adapted with several wall thickness. But in this case of the video,nothing changed. However, thank you for responding
Hi. Ive done this. But I want my door family to adpat also the other finishes. How can you make the three layers as one host for the door? thanks in advance.
Thanks for your query Darwin. You have two options. Create a singular wall with all the desired layers and insert your door or alternatively creating the wall in layers and join the together so the door opening carries through to all the layers. Let me know how you get on.
@@petermolloyarchitect Hi!... So I have try joining multiple walls and true it made an opening when you put the doors/windows on it. But my problem was when there are like 3 layers of walls, the door only detecting one wall as a host. the result is the door jamb are not going trough the other walls though it created a wall opening.
@@DarwinLingco sounds like more of an issue with the door family rather than the walls. Try putting a standard door family in from the revit library and see if the architrave runs out to all the wall layers.
Saved me a lot of time, thank you!

Glad you found it helpful 👍 that was my process before I figured out this process. Saves loads of time.
So helpful, thanks very much!
Glad I could help Tim 🙂
Brilliant!

Heyyy,,, I have a problem here, the door frame does not go through other levels even after joining layers. Is there any solution for this?

@@petermolloyarchitect thanks a lot.. I will try that.. again thank you.
@@DarwinLingco no hassle. If that doesn’t work try editing the architrave depth in the door ‘edit type’ selection.
Hey, For some reason when I do so it cuts doors but not Windows, what can be the reason?
Could be to do with your window family. Try a different window family and see if that works :)
THANKS bit time.
Glad I could help Glen. Please consider subscribing to the channel for more useful tutorials 👍
I have a curtain wall and brick wall , they can not be joined in this way
how is that double door named in revit?
This is a door I downloaded from Revit city 👍
that doesnt work for me the wall are too thick
Try modelling 2 different walls. I sure the void in the family cuts as deep into the wall as you want.
