Hi, everyone!

I’m building a code to create column’s formwork but when I create a wall by profile and sometimes this profile is a rectangular profile. I got a not edited profile wall.

I’m not sure what is happening. This only happen when profile is a rectangular profile.

Hi @JrGomez and welcome, if you check the Revit API method you are using to create the wall, it is mentioned that it creates a non-rectangular profile wall:

Try to use another method for rectangular formworks.

You’re using a method to create walls by location line. This method doesn’t specify the wall’s height and it isn’t the method that creates walls by profile which requires an Ilist of curves.
see the different methods here:
