Openings in Multiple Walls

Walls can be constructed in many ways in your Revit Project. If you are using multiple wall types to construct your wall, one thing you may notice is that when you insert a door or window it will only cut one of the walls.

To get the door to cut multiple walls, all you have to do is join the walls together and the opening will be cut through both walls. This tool is located in the Modify Ribbon. Just pick join and select both of the walls in question.

This process will cut the door opening in the joined wall.

The only problem with this result is that the frame is only being produced in the original wall, if this is a problem in your documentation, then adding a couple of parameters to the frame in the door family will allow you to manually adjust the fame width.
