A
structural framing element is attached to a wall whose Structural Usage is set
to Non-bearing.
This
means that you have used a structural element such as a beam and it is
attaching to a wall whose structural usage is set to Non-bearing. The following
table lists the automatic Structural Usage settings for beams, based upon the
elements in which they are being connected. There are a couple of different
methods to correct this problem, each with pros and cons. The method used would
be dictated by a number of factors, including determining if the structural
elements(s) are truly structural elements or some type of faux treatment.
#1:
Change the Structural Usage of the Wall from Non-bearing to Bearing by
selecting the wall and bringing up the Element Properties dialog and changing
the Structural Usage to Non-bearing. One of the downsides to this is if you are
working with a structural engineer that using Revit Structure this wall will
appear as a Bearing wall. If you are working with a structural engineer using
Revit Structure, this would NOT be the appropriate method.
If
the elements that have been modeled are not being used as structural elements,
but being used as some sort of faux treatment, then consideration should be
given to remodeling the framing using a non-structural elements.
