Greetings, I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

I received a project file at work for a hobby farm barn from a design-build customer we work for. It is a large barn (north-south) with an office at the north end and two wings (east and west).  The (stacked) walls are 8" girts with vertical panels on top and 8" concrete walls with 1.5" thick veneer stone on the bottom (4' high).

Problem #1: The wall of the main building is a continuous wall but the stone veneer only shows up on the wall that is north of the wings.

Problem #2: The customer wants to change from stone on the bottom to a wainscoat. I tried to modify the bottom concrete wall but the stacked wall exploded and Revit can not make the wall. I also tried making a new stacked wall, 8" girts over concrete & wainscoat and changing the walls. The wall reports as the new wall type (8" girt over wainscoat) but the surface pattern still shows the synthetic (veneer) stone not the vertical pattern I put in for the waincoat.

Any ideas on why these problems are occuring and how I can over come them.

Thank-you for any ideas and assistance.

David.

do not use a stacked wall. just use two different walls (one up to 4') and have the other start at 4' and continue up to height of building. Then join the walls with the join tools so that any openings cut through (doors or windows) cut both walls.

Prob 2, Your wall may have a paint applied or you did not properly define the wall.
