It seems that REVIT has a minimum heigh for walls or portions of a stacked wall.  I am creating a tile wainscot that has bands of various types of tiles.  I am setting these bands up as stacked walls.  Some of these bands are only 1" tall.  But REVIT will not allow me to make a portion of a stacked wall less than 1 1/2".  Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

 I have already thought about using sweeps for the tile bands.  The problem is that I am doing material quantity takeoffs so that I know exactly how much of each type of tile to order.  The sweeps do not calculate in the quantiy take off and thus will not work.

unfortuneatly that won't work either.  If I take two types of walls and place them on top of each other (insetad of an actual stacked wall) I cannot make those walls as short as 1".

I have made walls 1/16" high in order to make footings go under openings, but not stacked.

I just tried making a 1/16" high wall and it won't work.  How did you manage to do it?

Think I made full height and then modified the height at openings to get footings to go through.

Why not make a compound wall with the tile set to your height and split the face of the tile as many times as you want horizontally and then paint the face with the tile pattern you want on each layer? You can align the paterns within each face to the pattern you want.
