Hello,

I am a newbie to REVIT and I am trying to create a gabion wall. I downloaded the gabion wall ( http://www.revitcity.com/downloads.php?action=view&object_id=2536 ) (.rfa) and I opened it in REVIT. I used this block in another window to create a wall and now want to be able to implement it around my building that is in another file. How would I go about doing this?

Thank you for your help on this basic question!

You can not use a family as a wall.   Create a gabion material and assign it to the face of the wall.   For the fence, use a thin wall against the gabion wall with the material being a fence material ... has transparency.
