THIS IS MY PROBLEM i AM CREATING A COUPLE OF WALLS AND i NEED TO PLACE THE INSULATION INSIDE OR INBETWEEN THE STUDS HOW DO i ASSIGN IT TO DO SO BECAUSE IT CREATS EXTRA THIKNESSES FOR THE INSULATION?

BASICALL i WANT TO HAVE THE TICKNESS OF THE INSULATION ENTERED INTO THE COMPOSITION BUT TO POSITION IT IN BETWEEN THE STUDS "BY THE WAY LAINE MINERAL IS THE INSULATION"

Create a zone for the insulation and studs.  If required show the studs with a repeating detail - see attached image.

THANKS FOR YOU REPLY BUT THATS NOT EXACTLY WHAT i WANTED.

 

i AM CREATING MY WALL TYPE AND I WANT TO BUT THE INSULATION IN BETWEEN THE STDS .

SO BBASICALLY i WANT TO HAVE THE 90MM STUDS AND THE 65MM INSULATION IN THE SAME PLACE. IS THIS DOABLE?

THE ONLY WAY i HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP THE WALL THE RIGHT SIZE IS TO CREATE THE INSULATION AS MEMBRANE O i DONT REQUIRE A THICKNESS. BUT I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ACCURATE.

IF i CREATE THE INSULATION UNDER INSULATION AND PLACE IT IN THE COMPOSITION IT MAKES THE WALL THAT MUCH WIDER

A solution might be to edit the cut pattern on your stud material to be batt. insulation.  I haven't done this but you can import hatch patterns into Revit.  I'm sure there are some threads on how to create a hatch pattern.

The batt insulation is not a hatch, nor is it in AutoCAD, so you wont be able to achieve this.  Create a zone for the studs 90mm wide.  The insulation is in the same zone.  If you need to schedule the insulation you can create a parameter for this.  If its the graphical presentation you require, draft the studs and insulation on afterwards.  I would create two zones, one for the insulation 65mm wide with a pattern to represent the hatch and one for the studs, 25mm wide.  Draft the studs on afterwards using the repeating detail tool and draft over the insulation, which will be masked out.

thanks very much for you help.as far as detailing goes I understand I guess the scheduling is my issue. I just want to ensure that when I createthis wall it takes the insulation into account

Hello @paulykustomz

Did you ever found a solution to this? I have the exact same situation where I need my insulation inside the Metallic Studs. Revit wall assembly window does not seem to allow for inserting a layer/material inside another, so far I have not found the solution to this.

 

From a detailing / drawing point of view this is easily feasible, but I wished to do it the "Proper" way in the wall assembly: primarily to retain the THERMAL aspect of each layer/material and also for scheduling purposes.

 

Have you ever found a solution? Thank you for your reply.

 

(Further down drawn diagram of what I am trying to acheive), with rail and insulation INSIDE I need to acheive.

We use two different sud materials.  Just studs or studs with insulation.   No other way that I have ever seen.

This is just a material description within the material.   As such, you can tke it off with materials.
