There are many uses for the word reveal so you may need to be more specific. If you are referring to something like control joints or rustication, you can do this by modeling their negative and subtracting from the wall. The operators will need to be put on a hidden layer.

btw: turn your caps lock off - no need to shout.

[I agree. RevealMaker is awesome and I think everything else ends up resulting in a relative waste of time. But since the question read 'without using RevealMaker':]

Check out the 'W Niche' window inside 'Masonry' in the US library --or just find 'Niche'.

For a vertical reveal it works as-is, one really thin shallow tall niche for each reveal, and you can even change the material if you want. And it displays right in the floor plan, which RevealMaker doesn't.

For a horizontal reveal you might need to play around with the symbolic/whatever settings (which I am not at all familiar with) if you want it to look good on the floor plan.
