Note the Core Boundary Lines among the list – they have a note stating “ Layers above Wrap / Layers below wrap“.

The Top of the Assembly List refers to the Exterior of the Wall Construction, the Bottom of the Assembly List refers to the interior.

When you look at the Assembly window there are a few things to note:.

Here is where we can add / alter the layers of material which build out the compound wall construction in Revit.

Go into the Edit Dialogue next to the Structure Heading in the breakdown.

Select the Wall -> Press Edit Type -> Duplicate and name the proposed wall Cavity Blockwork Wall 375mm.

Select a default generic wall and place it.

Let’s start by creating our wall assembly from scratch. Step 1 : Overview of Creating a Wall Assembly: It is embedded below if that is your preferred learning format, so I hope you enjoy it! If your prefer a more linear, methodical approach of draw your walls to match masonry courses in Revit proceed below the video for a step-by-step written account complete with descriptor images Note: I have created an accompanying video that illustrates each of the steps below on Revit Wall Wrapping and how to close wall wraps at Openings and Ends. So, now that we have the framework for understanding Revit Material Layer Wrapping, lets go through a working example form start to finish to learn the process and identify nuances to the procedures where possible. In the absence of these parameters, Revit will default the returning material layers to the wall centreline.

Layer Wrapping for returns at insertion points (Doors, Windows etc) is dependent on the inserted families Wall Closer Parameters.Structure being the first priority, Finish 2 being the lowest priority.

These are default values and tell Revit the order of priority which the program should try wrap the wall layers. Revit Layer Wrapping is also dependent on the Layer Function Priorities.Revit Layer Wrapping is dependent on the Wall Assembly correctly allocating the Wrapping Conditions to the Layers within the type properties editor.In Brief, here are the highlights of what you need to know about How Revit Wall Material Layer Wrapping Works. So, as ever, I went on the path of discovery to enlighten myself and others, leading to this tutorial on Revit Wall Wrapping and how to correctly wrap Revit Walls at Insertion points (Doors, Windows, Louvres, Opes etc) and Wall Ends.

On exploring the topic I quickly recognised why he had not got around to fixing it – the solution wasn’t readily available for him to find. Working through a fairly basic project by my office standards and came across a Material Layer Wrapping issue that one my colleagues had yet to resolve.
