Hello,
I am building out a window that will have upper and lower trim elements. I would like to be able to turn on and off those trim elements based on there use in various projects. The issue I have is related to the wall cut. I would like to have it occur that when I turn on the trim above the window, that the wall cuts away to make room for the trim. Then if i turn off the upper trim, I want the wall to go back to just cutting out the window itself.
Is there a way to have the cut size of the window family change with the visibility setting of various components within the family?
kind of... Go into wall opening sketch mode add a parameter . See two images below, you may set up the window cut size with gap (fill into the trim) or w/o gap to hug your window frame thru that parameter control. Make your trim controlled by visibility separately, then using family type to group them together. I mean, you can set window trim visibility on and pick the dimension of a bigger window cut, vise versa.
Trim or Frame?
If trim then it wouldn't need to cut wall.
If frame then it is easier to use different families for framed and un-framed types, or use nested families as interchangeable components per the tutorial below:
