Create exterior walls

Exterior walls form the structural and visual boundaries of a building and serve as the foundation for accurate model development. In Revit, walls are intelligent components that carry essential data like height constraints, core structure, and materials. This video introduces the process of creating exterior walls using levels, grids, and location lines to ensure accuracy and alignment with design intent. Learn to define wall heights using constraints, position walls using grids, and understand how different location line settings affect placement. By the end, you’ll be able to confidently model the exterior shell of your project using best practices for precision and control.

After completing this video, you'll be able to:

  • Create exterior walls using the Wall tool.
  • Apply base and top constraints to walls to control their height and ensure accurate alignment to project levels.  
  • Use location lines and grids to position walls according to design intent and construction requirements.
