Revit Tutorial - Framed Walls with Actual Wood Studs

If you need to model framed walls with actual woods studs in Revit, there is a way. Using a Curtain Wall family, you can create wood framed walls and embed them into a standard wall for visualization and model accuracy.

Can you add windows and doors into the wall ??

[@dbedog]

Great video! What's the best strategy to model insulation panels between studs? Thanks!

[@doubledeitle]

Oooh good question. I would use a curtain panels between the mullion "studs". You might get some strange things at corners and around doors. Plus Revit will want to tag the wall assembly with a wall tag so make sure you don't tag the insulation by mistake. Great idea though!

What if i need a schedule of the mullions for quantity and pricing

[@doubledeitle]

You can create a Curtain Wall Mullions schedule, make sure you set an additional parameter in the mullions to identify the mullion type, and Calculate Totals for length. Also add the Count parameter. This will give you the # of mullions as well as the total length. Usually we cost storefronts by area (cost/sf) so I haven't used a mullions schedule for pricing. Thanks!

instead use framing system mullion cant have openings i tried it in my project later changed to framing system

[@doubledeitle]

Absolutely you can use the structural framing systems as well. When I have used these, they seem a bit more limiting to me than a curtain wall family. For openings, I usually edit the profile of the wall as a way to get doors and windows shown, and you can change the mullions to be headers, king studs, jack studs, etc. Great comment, thank you!
