[Panneau Plein - Ouverture ext.rfa](https://hexagondownloads.blob.core.windows.net/public/Leica/Sample%20Data/Panneau%20Plein%20-%20Ouverture%20ext.rfa)

## Setting Fence

1. After loading the dataset, use the fence tool to define the area of interest and temporarily hide unnecessary points. Click **Polygonal Fence** in the **Clipping** panel and outline the required area. ![Door fitting in Revit - Step 0.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%200.png) ![user_cropped_screenshot.webp?tl_px=278,272&br_px=2143,1315&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot.webptl_px=278,272&br_px=2143,1315&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0)

## Fitting Wall

Before fitting the door, it is necessary to [create a wall](/v1/docs/cloudworx-guided-workflow-using-door-fitter-in-cloudworx-for-revit) where the door will be fitted.

### Creating Wall Geometry

1. In the **Fitters** panel, click **Wall**. ![Door fitting in Revit - Step 24.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%2024.png)
2. When the **Fit Wall** dialog appears, choose **Select two points** for the pick type and click **OK**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot(87).jpg)
3. First, select the exterior face of the wall. Next, rotate the point cloud and select the interior face of the wall. ![user_cropped_screenshot.webp?tl_px=831,425&br_px=2208,1194&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot.webptl_px=831,425&br_px=2208,1194&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0)![user_cropped_screenshot.webp?tl_px=512,251&br_px=2232,1213&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot.webptl_px=512,251&br_px=2232,1213&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0)
4. In the **Select wall type** dialog:
  1. Select the **Create new type** check box to match the wall thickness.
  2. Specify the new type name.
  3. Select the **M_Exterior - Brick on Mtl Stud** wall type.
  4. Click **OK.**

![](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot(88).jpg)
5. Since the Wall Fitter tool remains active, repeat Steps 4-5 to create another wall for the area outlined in the image. The type created for the last wall can be used.

### Adjusting Wall Geometry

Due to the presence of openings and some noise, the wall geometry remains incomplete. This issue can be resolved using Revit functionality.

1. Click the necessary wall and then click **Trim/Extend Single Element** on the **Modify** tab. ![Door fitting in Revit - Step 56 (1).png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%2056%20(1).png)
2. Click the midpoint of the second wall to enable the Extend to boundary option.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot(90).jpg)
3. Click another wall to extend it.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/user_cropped_screenshot(91).jpg)
4. The walls are now joined. Enable point visibility. ![Door fitting in Revit - Step 62.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%2062.png)
5. Click the second wall and extend it by dragging its edge to the necessary position. ![Door fitting in Revit - Step 64.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%2064.png)![Door fitting in Revit - Step 65.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Door%20fitting%20in%20Revit%20-%20Step%2065.png)

## Fitting Door

### Adjusting View

1. Use the ViewCube to adjust the view for optimal visibility of the object of interest. In this case, select the Back orientation and then pan to display the wall with the sliding glass door.
