In Revit, you can create shear, bearing or structural-combined walls in your building engineering model.
00:11
Take note that these are distinctly different from architectural walls.
00:16
To complete this exercise, create a new project using a structural template.
00:21
On the Structure ribbon, in the Structure panel, expand the Wall drop-down and click Wall: Structural.
00:28
Then, expand the Type Selector and specify the type of wall you want to place.
00:33
For this example, choose the Generic 300mm wall type.
00:38
On the Modify|Place Structural Wall contextual ribbon, in the Draw panel, note that Line is the default option when placing walls.
00:47
You can use a combination of other Draw tools to place walls in your model, but for this example, leave Line selected.
00:54
In the Options Bar, you can select either Depth or Height and then specify the value in the adjacent fields.
01:01
Depth extends the wall down from the specified level, while Height extends the wall up from the level you set.
01:07
In this case, select Height, and then set it to Level 2.
01:12
To create a single structural wall segment, in the drawing area, click to place the start point.
01:19
Move the cursor in the appropriate direction and angle, and then click again to place the end point of the wall.
01:25
To begin creating another wall with different parameters, press ESC.
01:31
On the Options Bar, select Height, and then choose Unconnected and 10 feet.
01:38
Revit may display a warning dialog to inform you that the default setting has changed.
01:43
Close the notification.
01:45
Create a wall segment starting from the end of the previous wall.
01:49
Then, press ESC twice to end the Wall: Structural command.
01:54
Finally, to better understand how structural wall parameters work, switch to an elevation view to see the results.
02:01
You now know how to create structural walls in your building engineering design.
