In a wall assembly with batt insulation or some kind of spray foam insulation inside the wall cavity, does anyone know how to obtain the r-value of the assembly when taking into account the spacing of the studs (16" o.c. vs. 24" o.c.) The r-value / u-value of the wall will be different at the studs than at the non-stud portion of the wall.
You have to assign the correct thermal values to the stud material. Make a stud material for 24" and a stud material for 16" and assign the right thermal values for each. Revit will do the rest.

Thanks :)
look into comcheck. they have some math thing to account for that.
I'm talking about revit... I know about comcheck....
seriously- no one knows the answer to this?

that still makes no sense.... that assumes that the wall has a continuous r-value...
Correct, unless you plan on modeling the actual studs in Revit, which I DON'T recommend you do... just do the math.
