Came across this error that really perplexed me... it was the verbiage
that Revit used that I didn't understand...
After hunting through the actual wall assembly I found what the problem was and the message then made sense.
Revit will not allow two or more Wall component Layers that are unlocked that NOT next to each other. Hence the error message that you cannot ignore.
After hunting through the actual wall assembly I found what the problem was and the message then made sense.
what I found that if you have more than one wall layer component at
the base (or top) that is unlocked to make it extendable they need to be next
to each other. You cannot have one layer unlocked and it's adjacent layer
locked.
This only applies when you have multiple layers that are unlocked.
you can have a single layer unlocked anywhere along the
assembly but as soon as you unlock another layer they need to be next to each
other.
Here are some examples:
Any one Wall Component Layer Unlocked is OK.
Any two or more Wall Component Layers Unlocked that are next to
each other (or adjacent) is also OK.

Thanks for that. That was causing grief for awhile. You solved it.

I know its a workaround but if you unlock the center (structural) wall (leaving locked the other layers) you will get the desired effect.You will notice in properties base offsets it sort of works on reverse.
Great, Thanks!! :-)
