Any tips on how to add some control joints like in the picture attached? Would I have to do this with mass? I wish it could work with wall reveals but it seems these only work vertical and horizontal. Thanks

i am a bit new, only 1.5 years so maybe others will have a better answer. have you considered a composite wall? for the initial look of it. then, not sure, but could you create in place mini voids? or void sweeps? or another idea - what about a simple wall based generic family, which creates a series of 'tiles', both full size and half size. or how about just model lines? depends on your rendering requirements i guess. i find, if in doubt, think how it would be built and try to emulate in revit. not always successful, but it helps!

Personally i'd just add a model pattern for the wall unless its something you really wish to model. My method would probably be to create a wall hosted generic model family that cuts a series of swept voids out of the wall... HTH.
