I'm pretty new but I can create and edit walls just fine.  Do you have to create them and edit them inside each project?  Is there a wall family?  It seems there should be an easy way to load them in each project or save them or something.  Thanks!

Also, is there an easy way to do verticle sweeps?  Or what's the best way to do a wall sweep?

Look in your help under walls - then look for "wall type properties" and you will find out how to define and modify wall types.

 

When you choose a sweep, your option bar will give you an opportunity to choose vertical or horizontal.

I was looking at a verticle wall sweep inside of the wall editor.  so when I added a wall into the project it would have the verticle sweeps on the wall.

We actually have a project called Wall Library. Where we keep all of our wall types. Basically once they are drawn and approved they get coppied into the correct location on the project (1 level for metal studs, 1 for cmu, 1 for wood, etc; and grid them out horizontally to NR, 1hr, 2hr, etc; grid them out vertically to exterior, interior and specialty).

 

So far it works pretty well. You just open up the wall library (read only) and copy paste the approperiate types into your project. Just remember that Revit requires the host file that the items were copped to still be open when you paste so you cant copy, close and paste; you have to copy, paste and then close.
