Controlling Wall Joins in Revit

Sometimes when you are drawing walls that are close together you may find that they automatically join. What you are really trying to do is stop the wall short but it just keeps joining up again. This could be because it is attempting to join to something higher or lower on a different level, or a multitude of other reasons. What ever the reason, you can manually override the wall join.

This is what you want to happen. Stop the plaster faced wall on the edge of the blockwork wall and dont allow it to join.

But this is what keeps happening. The blue grip joins to the centre of the other wall (which in most cases is what you would expect it to do).



The answer to this problem is very simple (but not so obvious to find).



The function is called 'Disallow Join'

Tip - Plan Regions Wall Cleanup (Revit Clinic)

Great tip from the Revit Clinic... I run into this problem all the time and used the same basic tip to fix it:

Plan Regions Wall Cleanups and Large Coordinates

The symptom of this condition are wall cleanups which vary from view to view. For example a primary view and a dependent view. If you come across walls not cleaning up as expected in one view let's look at the following scenario:

Let's take a Revit plan view which contained an object well over the 2 mile origin at some point. When this object was present, the cut line for the view range extended to include this object.

At some point several plan regions were added to this view. Each plan region was set to a different cut plane dimension.

The plan regions captured the large coordinates and this could potentially disrupt wall cleanups. You may also notice that some rooms and room tags are not visible in the view exhibiting this behavior.

Should you come across this, you can resolve it using the following process:
