After completing this lesson, you will be able to understand structural walls, edit a wall profile, create a stacked wall, and create a compound wall.
00:16
The objective domains covered are, 1.1c, work with structural walls.
00:23
Structural walls are load-bearing elements that can resist compressive forces from elements above.
00:28
Structural walls can also resist shear loads.
00:32
Architectural walls have many of the structural wall properties and can be converted to a structural wall, if required.
00:39
They are typically used for non load-bearing functions such as internal partitions.
00:44
Structural walls are load-bearing and can have an analytical model for transfer to a structural analysis software.
00:52
A stacked wall is two or more sub walls that can be stacked together.
00:55
In the example below, you can see two reinforced concrete walls are stacked with different thicknesses.
01:01
Stacked walls are very convenient, as you can place the walls in one simple command.
01:08
A compound wall is a wall structure that can contain multiple vertical layers such as masonry, concrete, cavities, etc.
01:16
In the example below, you can see that brick and blockwork are combined with a cavity wall.
01:24
Go ahead and open up the file 006-Work with structural walls.
01:31
Note that the file opens up in the ground floor plan.
01:35
We begin by creating two shear walls.
01:40
On the Structure ribbon, click Wall.
01:46
On the context ribbon, you will note that we have draw tools.
01:51
And on the options bar, you'll notice that we can determine whether the wall was drawn up to a height or down to a depth.
01:60
In this example, we'd like to draw to a height of 04-Fourth Floor.
02:07
We can then define the location line for our wall.
02:10
Are we defining the wall centerline, the finish face exterior, or the finish face interior?
02:19
We can then use the Chain option to control whether we draw a single wall or a chain of walls.
02:25
And finally, we have the ability to add an offsetting.
02:28
In my case, I'm going to uncheck Chain.
02:33
In the Properties palette, you'll note that we can select the type of wall that we want to work with.
02:40
In our example, we're going to use RC Wall 12".
02:47
Let's go ahead and zoom up on grid 8.
02:51
So we require a wall 4 feet long and you can see, just using the temporary dimensions here, we can begin 2 feet away to the left of grid 8.
03:00
And I can then define a wall 4 foot long.
03:06
I can then repeat that on the other side.
03:14
Our two shear walls are now complete.
03:20
Next, we create a stacked wall for a basement construction.
03:25
In the Project Browser, let's switch to -01 Top of Foundation.
03:37
On the Structure ribbon, select Wall.
03:41
And in the Properties palette, go ahead and select stacked wall exterior 8" over 10" concrete wall.
03:50
We are required to modify this type.
03:53
Select the Edit Type button, and first, we're going to rename this wall type.
04:04
We'll call this one, RC Wall 10" over 12".
04:14
We'll then select the Edit button.
04:18
And here, we are in the Edit Assembly dialog box.
04:22
To help us understand this better, you will notice that we have a Preview window that we can enable on the left hand side.
04:31
Currently, we're looking in section on this wall.
04:36
So the first thing I'd like to do is change the type of wall used on the top.
04:42
So you'll notice here that we can see all of our basic wall styles from this pull-down list.
04:47
Let's choose RC Wall 10".
04:52
For the base of the wall, we'll choose RC wall 12".
04:60
I'd like to have a height of 2' 6" for the base wall, and the remaining wall, we'll go to the top of the wall constraints.
05:12
Go ahead and click "OK" and "OK" again.
05:17
And you can see our new stacked wall is created.
05:21
We can now model our stacked wall.
05:26
On the context ribbon, you'll note that we have our Draw panel.
05:30
On the options bar, we can determine if our wall goes up to a height or down to a depth.
05:36
In this case, we're modeling to a depth of our lift pit.
05:42
Now here, I would like to define the exterior face of the wall.
05:47
So we'll say Finish Face Exterior.
05:50
And I want to enable Chain.
05:54
So I can now model my wall.
05:57
So I'm going to begin on the edge of the floor and grid 7.
06:01
Note that I'm drawing in a clockwise fashion.
06:04
This will ensure that the wall comes out the right way and also our location line is correct.
06:09
So here, I am now going to trace around the edge of the slab and construct my wall.
06:24
If we switch now to the 3D view, we can now see our basement wall.
06:32
Now we can clearly see the transition between the 12" wall and the 10" wall.
06:43
Next, we create a compound wall for our lift core.
06:48
Switch back to the 00-ground floor plan and zoom up on the lift core.
06:56
So this is the wall we're going to go ahead and edit.
06:60
In the Properties palette, select the type selector.
07:03
And to begin, we're going to choose a generic 6" wall.
07:09
Click Edit Type and then Duplicate the style.
07:15
So we'll name this wall 6" Blockwork with render.
07:22
We'll then click "OK" and select the Edit button.
07:29
Revit has retained the fact that we have a sectional view shown over here in our preview.
07:35
And here, we can simply now change the material to blockwork.
07:41
We can do a simple search for blockwork in the materials browser and select concrete masonry units.
07:50
You'll note that the thickness is already set to 6", so we can leave that as is.
07:56
We now want to create two new layers.
07:58
We want to create a finish for our render and this finish is going to go on both sides of the wall.
08:05
The finishes normally need to go outside of the core boundary.
08:09
So I'm going to select the Insert button.
08:13
Here, I'm going to go ahead and select Finish 1.
08:18
And I'll select my suitable material.
08:21
So here, we can do a simple search for render.
08:25
And go ahead and select Wall Render.
08:30
The render thickness is 1".
08:33
And you'll notice here that it has a Wraps function, that means the render can wrap around the wall.
08:41
We'll now insert a third layer.
08:45
If the layer doesn't come in the right position, we can use the up and down button here to position the layer correctly within the wall.
08:54
So this again will be Finish 1.
08:57
Here, I can simply copy and paste the material known and again, I will copy and paste the wall thickness.
09:09
So we can now review our wall build up over here.
09:13
And you can now see we have a suitable compound wall.
09:16
I can click "OK" to my Edit Assembly dialog box, "OK" again to my type properties.
09:24
And you'll now note that we have our new wall shown.
09:29
In this example, we're going to change the constraints of our wall.
09:33
In the Properties palette, you'll note that the base constraint of the wall starts at ground floor,
09:38
the top constraint goes all the way up to the fifth floor.
09:42
Let's edit this and have the wall terminating on the first floor.
00:05
