Wrapping at Ends - Explained

Here is a quick explanation of the wall wrapping function in Revit Architecture.

I looked everywhere for an explanation on the difference between Exterior and Interior and couldn't find anything!!!  So here is my explanation of the difference between the two.

Under the properties of the wall you have the option to change how the wall ends appears.

None, Exterior and Interior.

If you apply either the Exterior or Interior Wrapping at Ends to a basic wall that only has one finish outside the Core Boundary, say a typical interior wall that has only one layer of drywall, you wont see any difference.

The reason being that the one layer of material is the same on the exterior side of the wall and the Interior side of the wall.

The Interior and Exterior options refer to the Interior and Exterior side of the walls (every wall had a interior and exterior side, look at the title next time you edit the assembly).

The Wrapping at Ends doesn't become apparent until you get into more complex walls that have more than one material outside of the Core Boundary.

Below is an example of wrapping at ends Exterior.

Here you see that all exterior components wrap at the ends of the wall.
You can select which components wrap by checking the "Wrap" next to each specific component when Editing the Structure of the Wall.

Below is an example of wrapping at ends Interior.

Here you see that all the Interior components wrap at the ends of the wall.
