Copy Walls to Other Levels (Per-Floor Wall Strategy)
Copy walls level-to-level with a strategy that survives design changes.
- In a Floor Plan (e.g.
Level 0), select all walls you want to replicate to other floors. - Press Ctrl+C to copy.
- Click Paste → Align to Selected Levels.
- In the dialog:
- Select the Levels where the copied walls should appear (e.g.
Level 1toLevel 6). - Click OK.
- Select the Levels where the copied walls should appear (e.g.
- Revit creates copies of those walls on each selected Level, maintaining their relative position.
- In Elevation or 3D:
- Select the walls on each Level and set their Top Constraint to the Level above (e.g.
Level 1walls top =Level 2).
- Select the walls on each Level and set their Top Constraint to the Level above (e.g.
- If Level heights change, the walls adapt automatically.
Optional – Duplicate Wall at Same Location for Type Changes
- Select a wall.
- Press Ctrl+C.
- Click Paste → Aligned to Same Place.
- You now have two walls on top of each other:
- Change the Type of one wall (e.g. to a different build-up).
- Adjust height or constraints to create a vertical segmentation of different wall types.
Note
- This is a fast way to create vertical wall transitions (e.g. different materials above/below a slab).
