Basically what I am wanting to do is cut one in place mass with another in place mass. I have no idea if this is possible but from what i have read so far it does not seem so. what I have is two of the same shape, but with one scaled slightly smaller. I would like to hollow out the larger one with the smaller one. I am not sure if the pictures will help explain but any advice or tips would be appreciated.

It is a model in-place component under under the roof family parameters. I originally put it into this category as it is intended to be a folded plate roof and I wanted to be able to attach walls to top without having to edit the boundaries of several different walls in different orientations. It is would be easier to do what I am asking in a different category it should be somewhat easy to remake.
Model both geometries in the same family and set the smaller one as void to cut with... (it's an in-place family? Not sure now if you meant solid instead of mass' geometry actually...)
Well you can cut a solid with a void in the SAME family. I suppose you already know this and your question is how to get a void from one In-Place to cut a solid from a different In-Place. No can do. Would be nice though. You could Clipboard Copy Paste the Solid from one In-Place into the other In-Place, turn it into a Void and then Cut the Solid with it.
That's about the gist of it... OR alternatively you could cut/join both geometries and hide the inner one, you could set it to a certain subcategory hidden in all views ie. after joining or using view filter, not exactly the same as cutting it though...
That's the solution I have right now, I was hoping to avoid having to remake the plates again but whatever it takes to get it right, thanks for the help!
