i have come accross a situation where i have posts between my walls, when i finish the wall against the rectangular timber post, the wall hatch pattern runs over the post cut pattern, even when the post has a solid cut pattern. I eventually just overide "columns" catagory to be a solid colour and this worked, but is there another way of not letting the wall hatch run through the column.

Did you use structural columns or columns from the modelling tab? Refer to pic and tell us which one you chose.

There is two kinds of columns in revit, Architectural columns and Structural columns, the first is "envolved" by the walls (pattern of the wall), the second it assumes the pattern of the column, see the images...

hey thanks for the tips guys, that was the problem, he had used structural columns and not architectural columns.

I hate to reopen such old threads, but I am having this problem still using 2011. I am using structural columns. When I lay a structural concrete column into a masonry wall, it picks up the wall hatch. Even if I split the wall, then drag the wall ends to the side of the column, it picks up the wall hatch. Please help. There has to be a way to fix this.

Nothing? No one has any thoughts on why it is doing this?

you have a few options, structuresguy. If you split the wall, you can right click on the blue grip at the end of the wall and tell it to "disallow join," this will prevent it from melding with the column or trimming intelligenty. This is also useful for when wall joins have intelligence failures... The other option is to make a void extrusion along the length of the column, and then cut geometry with the wall and the extrusion. This is allows for pretty details, but might prove exasperating and inflexible if you're still making large changes. pic is void extrusion.

I really don't believe you are using a structural column.

Me? No, it's structural. By cutting geometry with the the wall and the void extrusion, there's no real contact between the wall and column, so nothing wraps.

I'm having the same problem with the structural wall absorbing the structural column. I have two walls that come in contact with the column and as soon as one wall touches the column it changes the column pattern to the wall pattern. Even if I dis-allow join both walls and then connect it to the column it still doesn't work. Does anybody have any solution to this?

Sorry, I don't know why my post keeps duplicating itself. YES, I AM USING A STRUCTURAL COLUMN! See my attached picture. If, I'm not using a STRUCTURAL COLUMN then show me where I sould be getting one from. I'm using Revit Structure 2011 not Revit Architecture.

nistorkool,
Okay, this is what I've figured out with the structural columns and the walls. There are a few options you can do. If you are placing the column inside the wall and it is absorbing the material of the wall you have to unjoin the column from the wall. The wall will still be running through the column but you can get a different pattern on the column by doing this. Do this by either selecting the column or just go to the modify tab and click the down arrow next to the join command and select unjoin. It should then show you what you want.
If you are wanting to actually cut the wall out of the column you will have to edit profile in elevation which in some cases still will not display correctly. Or you want seperate walls, one on either side of the column and then you still might have to unjoin if the walls absorb the column.
Another way that I've seen done, which if you aren't looking to use the model for anything other than a pretty picture and you're not sending it to the architect you could create a wall type (name it with a column tag name (CC-1)) then set the pattern you want and then you can draw the wall and tag it will a wall tag that would have the column callout in it. See if this works and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks very very much for your answeer. But I am afraid it is not working with the unjoin option. but my problem is why when I already have a column in the plan and I make a wall through the column, the latter keeps the pattern. But it doesn't work the other way around. like I said before.

I have find a solution , not very good one but for now it ok. I use a filter on walls to make them transparent. If someone finds another solution or an explanation to my problem please let me know.
