Hi @rgs

Your currently connecting an integer to “Curve.DividebyDistance”. You need connect curve to it.

@rgs It is not possible yet to divide walls. It is a restriction. Read this on RFO Split Wall using Revit API - Autodesk Community. However you can get the existing walls curve and divide it and then create a new walls at last remove the existing once. Good Luck!

Okay, that is a shame, but thank you very much for your fast respond and help :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello @Kulkul,

I know we cannot split the wall directly based on what I have read here. So I am following your advice to create new walls based on the curves obtained by dividing the curves of the existing wall. What I want to achieve is pretty simple - divide a wall into two where it is being intersected by another wall. Illustrated in the images below:

Above images depict a simple example but I want to do it for a larger project with multiple walls and wall types.

I tried using two methods:

Using Element.Location to get the Wall Curves and Endpoints and then splitting the curve using the nodes below:

Another method I tried was using Bounding boxes of the walls and getting the intersection and trying to split the curve using that.

After I obtain the new curves, I create new walls on it as you have suggested, mapping the properties of the existing wall and then deleting it.

However, in both the cases I do not obtain the desired result. Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to do this?
