I have a long run of walls that was once a single continuous wall. At some point when trying to model columns in the wall, we split the wall into several sections. We could not get the columns to display correctly, as they kept taking the hatch pattern from the masonry wall. We now want to merge the wall segments back together to make one long wall again. Is there a way to do this? We can't find any way to make it work.

Just drag one wall back a little then drag it back, it should join back into one wall.

The walls do not merge back into one physical wall. They just clean up to appear like one wall. Is there a way to make them physically merge back into one wall? Thanks.

Mine merged back into one wall. Pick anywhere and entire wall is highlighted. Did you pull it away, stop then repick it and pull it back?

Thanks guys. I figured it out. I had edited the wall profiles of each section. Once I did this, they would no longer join back together. Once I reset the profiles, they merged back together.

None of this would ever have happened if they just made it so that structural columns inserted into a wall took precendent, and showed the hatch pattern of the column, not the wall. So instead of being able to use columns for the concrete pillasters I have in a masonry wall, I need to use concrete walls, so that they show concrete hatch. Very frustrating. I don't understand why Revit has never fixed this problem. It existed back in 2008, and it is still a problem in 2011.

If you used structural columns, they do not assume the wall material - only architectural columns assume wall finish.

It has never worked for us. We have used Revit structure since version 2008, and structural concrete columns have always taken on the hatch of masonry walls that they are inserted into. We have had to come up with all kinds of workarounds. And I repeat, we are using structural columns, not architectural columns.

Copy the file, delete everything except those two walls and the door. Purge all then uploade. Include which issue of Revit.
