Convert void to solid

a_minet — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 10:13:12 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to convert a void to a solid?

I have a wall with a family of voids, I collect the voids of this family. I insert a sphere of the center of the void. I'm doing a boolean operation, but Revit doesn't want to do it. So I want to convert this void to a solid.

Hi @a_minet ,

Is this a Revit API programming question?

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to installation, product usage, or end-user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us.

Also, I found out this below link about converting void to solid in Revit UI

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

I want to do it with the API.

1- Obtaining the project void families.
2- Obtaining the parts (wall) of the project.
3- Split the family of voids to get all the voids of the family instance.
3- Insertion of a family in the center of each void on the part.
4- Boolean operation to check if the distance between the void and an opening in the window is correct.
