Hello,
I have built a Shipping Container in Revit to use with designing houses with these containers. I know you can create voids inside the family when it is in edit mode, but I need to know how to create a void extrusion in the project and have it cut into the family also. Does the family have to be categorized as something special to have this ability?
My alternative is creating a container family for each container in the project ex: Container A, B, C, D and just cutting the voids in those families, but one problem I see is if the original container has something I need to change, I have to change in all families.
I also thought about creating the original container as a nested family inside another family (ex: Original Container inside Container A Family, B Family, etc) but I would still need to cut the voids in the family for the walls, windows, stair openings, etc.
Please help me find a solution. Revit was not really made to work with these and I'm trying to find the best solution.
