Problem with Boolean between mass elements
Accepted solution
Hello! I can't open your file...becouse I still workin in earlyer vertion of ACA. Convertion in DWG viewer makes it like PROXY elements.
But I can sugest you solution for such a problem not boolean way.
The element where should be done the subtraction necessary to convert into wall>
Then for that wall( converted element ) in context menu > interference condition>add and choise the mass element for subtruction>
After that you will recive the wall with the subtraction.But subtructed mass has to be where it is/don't delete it.
Next you need to do is to CONVERT the wall to Mass back. There is no direct way to do it BUt here is one trick 🙂
You need just to create small mass and put it somewhere into the body of the wall. Than using boolean just "union" the wall to the mass.
It definetly works 100%
Also there is one alternative.
Insted creating of small mass you can create a mass group of wall and subtructed mass but to the subtructed mass have to be created new style and applyed material "thermal& moisture.insulation.air" It makes it invisible in the model view but still applyable in plan view( it is like hollow object)Mass group can be used for all the type of AEC element not for mass only.

Hi @Anonymous,
I'm just checking in again to see if you need more help with this. If so, will you be able to provide the additional information and affected file that @brian_adams requested?
