Revit® | Blocking

You can create blockings between studs with this tool.

Insert

You can insert the blocking by selecting the command in the ribbon which will open up the settings window, which you can view below.
Go to the top view of your item container and set your workplane to that view.
Select the point where you want to start the creation of the blocking and after that select the endpoint.
Select the item container and your blocking will be automatically created.

The difference between Structural blocking and Section blocking is that structural blocking is inserted throughout the entire wall. For the section blocking, you can select two points on the wall to create a blocking between these two points.

Behaviour

You can still modify the blocking tool after you have inserted it into the drawing by selecting the tool and changing the instance properties of the tool which will react to these changes.
