Stacked Walls in RiR

Rhino.Inside Revit
1

Hello!

I want to be able to manipulate stacked wall heights so I can:

  1. Toggle which sub-wall absorbs vertical changes (“variable” wall)

  2. Input the height of the non-variable walls so the transition stays fixed. ie I want to do a base offset at -3’ but this moves the transition point in the wall. Doing this in RiR would allow me to control both at the same time.

Is there way to access these parameters in RiR so I can manipulate the walls within grasshopper?

Thanks!

You can use Inspect Element to get the associated parameters. or try Stacked wall related components

@MSAwan Thanks for your response.

I did try using the inspect element component to access the associated parameters within in stacked walls. What I have not found is how to edit which wall is the ‘variable wall’ and how to set the desired height for the non variable wall. I do know about all of the components you have shared, however, I was not able to achieve the desired goal with them.

I dont see the parameter I am looking for within the inspect element.

These are the parameters I am looking to manipulate.

To my knowledge (which is limited) the only thing inspecting a stacked wall does is provide the basic walls that are within the stacked wall type.

This is the compound structure property. The current RIR components only allow you get access to the following properties (see the picture), I believe there is no API to control the height of the sub elements individually. So i guess its the limitation.

@Japhy Would it be possible to add this feature as a future RiR component? or an addition to the ‘analyze stacked wall’ component?

I’ll take a look, but if it’s like Muhammad says and that feature is not available via the Revit API there isn’t much we can do. All our components use the Revit API.
