Hi I'm fairly new to the whole Revit thing. Does anybody know a way to present a wall build-up so that it has that "peeled back" effect? It is difficult to see all layers when simply using the section box to cut walls. Other than manipulating the wall profiles (which is not desirable) i can't think of any other way. Please Help!! See attached example.

The only way to do what you have shown is to have each layer as a wall and edit the profile of each layer. If you really want to create something like this, I suggest you make a seperate project and do it there. You will NOT want to bring it into a project if it is model elements, but you can export to CAD the 3D view then bring that into multiple projects as a detail view.

Thanks for your reply WWHub. I have been creating each wall layer seperately in order to schedule each component properly. I was hoping I wouldn't need to do something like that. It would be great to have a view like this that would update in real time. Would there be any possible way of creating void elements (eg. in-place mass family, ) which could cut the walls and yet be hidden from all but the one 3d view containing the build-up? If this were possible I wonder whether it would mess with the schedules? I attempted using the in-place family but can't seem to create a void without creating a solid and cutting it first... Am I attempting something that is not possible?

If your project is all new then maybe make another wall layer that is existing and to be demolished that has its profile editted for your view and create a view that shows no new construction? That is of course if you arent using it to control demolition  . Or perhaps with design options and just use those for views rather than real options in design changes?

I thought I read somewhere that you could do this and use a 3D view to show it. Food for thought here; but I am wondering if you could build your wall type, make a seperate wall outside of the model, apply a void form to it in a triangular fashion, then make a rotated 3D view of that. We do not do this type of view at my work, but it sounds like it would work in theory. It worked for me when I had to use a void form to miter a steel wide-flange beam in using Revit Architecture 2009.

You could have this in your model as a design option so that it can be shown only in special views and it is not part of the main model. Each layer would have to be another wal so that you could edit the profile. And yes, this could be a 3D view.

Awesome, good to know. I had previously worked with model elements when I did this; good to know it can be done with walls as well. Thanks for the confirmation WWHub!
