Wall Floor Interaction and Linked Models. When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections. This is more pronounced if the structural slab is in the structure model only. The wall continues past the floor as if it isnt there.

I wrote about about one of these Reviteristics in April 2010. That post is about Openings and this one is about curtain wall panel doors. When people first make a curtain wall that is supposed to get a door they quite naturally assume the door tool is the right place to start. A curtain wall door is really a curtain wall panel.

Rooms and areas can be deleted in model views like floor plans and ceiling plans. Revit warns us that they have been deleted from the model but they are still listed in schedules. We can also create rooms and areas in a schedule view before there are any walls or boundaries available to define where they should go. Older Post.
