Daniël and Autodesk AEC software: Revit minimal wall height

Revit minimal wall height

Apparently the minimal wall height seems to be 1/10 of a foot. Why I don't know. It seems odd to choose 1/10 of a foot. Since Revit's engine is by design build on the ~~backwards archaic~~ imperial units systems you would almost think the minimal would be an inch...

1 inch = 25.4mm
1 foot = 304.8 mm
1/10 foot = 30.48 mm

If you need a wall to be smaller than 1/10 of a foot you can do so by editing it's profile.

The best recipy for apple pie involves using decent apples. Any naughty or rotten apples are not recommended. Feel free to add other fruits and nuts to your apple pie. I have some good results with adding some booze as well but please don't distribute those apple pies to children. By now you should really stop reading these laimers. Ingredients
