Cannot cut joined elements error

salmanjavaid2000 — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 04:40:08 GMT

Hi everyone

I am joining a Column and a wall. And every time, I click on join, the error appears that Cannot cut joined elements. Visually, the walls are not cut by the columns. Why is this problem happening? Is there a solution to this?

Try Join Geometry and Switch Join Order.

Still the same issue

you can try this

Duplicate the wall element.
Delete the original.
Join the copy of the wall and column.

@salmanjavaid2000

What kind of warning do you have for that wall...copy wall and column to clipboard and past in a blank .rvt which you can post here for checking

Both of these are not working. It gives the same error again and again. I just splitted up the walls and clear the way for columns

Oh sorry. I just use an alternate way to get rid of this problem. Didn't notice this warning

If your issue has been solved (one way or the other), post the method and/or accept solution

I don't have any issue joining a wall and a structural column.

I dont know why it was happening. Might be some other issue which was causing it

Most of the times when i encounter this problem is because there is a very slight misalignment between the elements, revit can't handle this

Dear Autodesk!

This is not a solution to the problem, but a way out, as the program does not provide the necessary tools for the job. And the provided tools do not work the way the user needs them to.

You show additional steps how to get out of a situation when your program simply cannot understand how to work correctly. And instead of fixing and rewriting the code, you make people copy and paste the sketch. And at the same time you say that no errors have been found and the program works as it should. No. It's a bad idea if thousands of people complain about what you've done.

It's the same situation with toposurfaces and toposolids, only there is no such way out. The program is just buggy, and incomprehensible to the architecore. I have no way to model a simple contour, pick up one part and cut from toposolid . It's always random, the program can not be relied on, it just when you change the height of a point by 10mm can say that now it does not want to connect. It's a failure. It's impossible to work with. Instead of me designing the way I want, I'm looking for the position of the elements to please the revit. Not the customer.

Thousands of people are asking you to do this, make quality software and people will pay for it, not crack for free).
