Wall join updates (note the join moves with the preview wall)
NOTE Join a wall to another wall with mid-end faces and start to edit the elevation profile of the wall with mid-end
faces. The vertical line in the wall's sketch is aligned to the center line of the joined wall, not the actual face of the
wall. This is only temporary while you are editing the sketch. When you leave sketch mode, the join cleans up by
going to one of the end faces.

joined wall, not at the face)
Joins with Non-Editable Walls
Non-editable walls can be joined and unjoined in the following ways:
■ You can join or unjoin an editable wall to the side face of a non-editable wall or to a corner where 2 or
more non-editable walls are already joined.
■
You can delete an editable wall that is joined to a non-editable wall, except as noted below.
■ You cannot join or unjoin an editable wall to a non-editable wall if that would change the shape of the
non-editable wall.
■ You cannot join an editable wall to the end of a non-editable wall. Revit Architecture keeps the walls
close together but does not join them and issues a warning. At a later time, you can join the walls if they
are both editable.
■ A wall can resize, even if it is not editable. This happens if you move the wall to which it is joined.
For more information on editability status and worksharing, see Working in a Team on page 1189.
Preventing Wall Ends from Joining
In construction, you might have small expansion spaces that you want to keep between walls. In these cases,
you need to prevent wall ends from joining. You can do this by disallowing wall joins.
