Element - CompoundStructure Table

Compound Structures are layered elements like Floors, Roofs, Walls and Ceilings.

In the image below, we see the original wall in the Revit Edit Assembly dialog and its representation in the Power BI table. The assembly is represented as _key "29" and each layer is separated by a Layer_key.
