Hi All,
I would like to create a void family allowing to cut some geometry into the project environment. I would not want to use the model in place feature because it is a void that I want to use quite often and place easily using the face based feature.
The thing is when i load the void family into the project environment it does not want to interact with anything. The weird thing is that if I convert the void in the family (generic model face based) into a solid and then load it again it appears that I can cut geometry of the project environment. The only thing is that it is a solid showing in all views unless I apply a special filter to it.
Why cannot cut with void but with solid? What would be best way to achieve what I want?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your reply Toan. I am working on Revit 2015 and cannot open your file.
Would you be able to save it to a previous version?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your answers.
The problem with this method is that the void only cuts the host. It does not seem possible to cut something else into the project environment. I would like the void family to allow the multiple cut feature so that I could cut walls, roofs, etc at the same time with the same void like an in place void would do.
Do you think this would be possible?
if there is 2 floors on top of each others, they have to be joined so as the family cuts them both
Hi ,
These floors were joined together.
The void sometimes cut these 2 floors, but sometimes doesnt. I can not understand why.
Hi!
The next question would be: is there any way to make those cuts automatically??
If the generic model is floor based it does cut the floor automatically but it is not really a good solution as we can have more elements to cut. Therefore, we would need to have more than one family for those scenarios and also for the roof...
Just to add: for generic models be sure to also check that the host is workplane based, otherwise a workplane based generic model void won't cut into it.
