Unlocking REVIT wall layers

My apologies, the google robots have locked down my regular revit rocks blog

Did you know you can 'unlock' a wall layer and drag or numerically set the offset as illustrated below.

You can drag the wall component(s) up or down in a 2d or 3D view or you can set the Base Extension Offset as shown above.

Watch the REVIT Video tutorial below and see how it's done!

This is a great lesson on an ability that REVIT walls have that most people don't know.

When you have a component or 'layer' within a wall structure you can grip and stretch one layer (or more if they are adjacent) up or down vertically in the plane of the wall surface.

This is a typical application when you want to stretch the face brick down below the rest of the wall to overhang the foundation.

Also when you want to pull the plywood sheathing down past the bottom plate to overlap the foundation wall.

You can do the same at the top of the wall.

Stacked wall types behave a little differently. Stay tuned for more detials on that.

The google robots have locked me down and I can't get up !

Well the google robots have locked down my REVIT ROCKS! blog for reasons of SPAM BLOGGING !! and then provide absolutely no means of contacting them. It's been that way for 3 weeks with no resolution or contact what so ever. Power like that scares me.

In doing so I am unable to make any more posts at the revit rocks site and I am totally out in the cold. That is until an actual living breathing person figures out whether or not I am a SPAM BLOGGER !!

It's unreal. What's next I have to ask. I can't say that I have ever experienced anything like this.

I have nothing on the site but pictures, text and video all managed thru their own interface. No code, nothing fancy. Except for Adsense of course so they can make their money. I cannot see how I would have anything that even remotely resembles the intelligence of Spam Blogging on my site. Let alone shut me out for 3 weeks with no contact or communication.

Could this be the devious sabotage work from a competing CAD group or person? It's not hard to do. All you have to do is report a blogger url to google and they'll take it from there.

So, you can't keep a good man down, I always say. So until further notice all new REVIT ROCKS posts will be at this new url > http://www.revitrocks2.blogspot.com/
