# Advanced: Uploading Walls

## Rhino

If your project already has predefined walls, you can upload them directly to Finch from both Rhino and Revit and still make use of **`Adaptive Plan Library`** and **`AI Generate Unit Plan`**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Remember to upload only the mass first. Make sure the geometry is one closed polysurface.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Walls are represented by their centerlines and can be created from lines or polylines. The Z-height of walls in Rhino is not used, since story heights are managed directly in Finch. Walls will appear in the story that corresponds to the layer they are placed on.
{% endhint %}

## Revit

You can also upload walls that are already in your file by changing their family type and level.
{% endhint %}

* Select the walls, and change them to the Finch Story wall family and Finch level (ex Level 0-1)

### 5. Upload to Finch

* Once all the walls are in place, click **`Upload Story Walls`** and head to Finch to begin working with the plans.
