New in Revit 2022: Understanding tapered wall type and instance properties

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to look at tapered walls. Now, tapered walls are in some ways similar to slanted walls. So they will have an angle parameter that will allow us to change their shape in a vertical direction, it's this sort of sloping angle. But the difference with a tapered wall versus a slanted walls is the slanted wall has only one angle parameter where tapered walls have two. So, you're able to get shapes like what you're seeing here in the middle of this example file. So, in this example here, the angle on the right side is vertical and the angle on the left side has a taper to it. And then here in this example, you can see if you look at the two reference planes that I've superimposed on top, that there's a different angle being used on either side. So it is possible to taper it in both directions. So it starts off really wide at the bottom and it tapers down smaller at the top, and it uses…
