Hi Guys,

What standard procedure should be used in Revit.

1. Should we model the complete assemble of walls/floors including the finishes eg plaster/AAC block/plaster.

or

2. Should we model the structural wall/floor seperately and have the finishes as a seperate model.

The second method allows you to model more accurately but it defeats the purpose of revit.

I want to understand the pro's and con's for both the systems. 

Thanks in advance.

We model all of our walls accurately for material but not always color.  The only exception is tiled walls area.  We will often model that as a thin wall and join it to the wall.  We basically do the same for floors.  We don't model carpet and we will model thin tiled floor areas but the floor is otherwise complete.

WWHub:

So essentially what you are saying is that we should model the structure seperately and the finish seperately whether it is tiles or wooden panelling etc.

What WWHub is saying is if you have a 3 5/8" metal stud w/ gypsum board on both sides you would create that as one wall.  If you have a  3 5/8" metal stud w/ gypsum board on both sides and one of the sides has a tile wainscot he creates that separately then joins them.
