How do I create a window in this hole?

[l.yong1]

Hi there,

I have created this hole with extrusion. Does anyone know how can I turn this into a glass window with frame?

Thanks for your help.

Please see attached screenshot.

I attached a file.  You should be able to figure out what I did from it.  I edited your In-Place Family and shaped the Solid Geometry using a couple of Voids to cut away portions of it.  Basically, Subtractive Modeling.

Thank you very much for your time and effort. Your video has helped me to resolve the issue. Have a great day😎

You are amazing. Appreciate your help. I wish I could give you 5* rating😎

It worked but my wall cracked. Any other method I could use other than this? Thanks

Can someone please show me how to use sweep to make irregular window on revit?

[barthbradley]

Seems to me we've all tried.   What's wrong with the "5-star" solution you gushed over?

It worked for one window but if I tried to put more than one window, the whole wall cracked as shown in attached floor plan. I am sure someone knows how to use extrusion to resolve this issue on this platform.

Post your RVT.

Because they are different walls. Create the windows and opening separately so that each one cuts the one correct wall.

Not sure why wen I created a second window, it affects the other wall. The walls were created by massing model. I can't separate them:(

Not suggesting you to separate the walls.  Leave them be.  How did you create the second window?  As an entirely different in place model or modifying the 1st window extrusions?

[l.yong1]

The method you taught me worked for the first window. I used your method to create the second window and door but skip the void extrusion for glass and frame. As it would cut off the wall. Please see attached photo.

I don't know what else I can do:(

You can't skip the voids.  You need them to cut the glass and frame to fit in the opening.  After you create the void, use Cut geometry and choose to cut glass/frame, not the main wall.  To summary:

- you need void 1 to cut the main wall to create the opening

- you need void 2 to cut the glass

- you need void 3 to cut the frame

While they can be created within one in-place family, I suggest create hem as separate families to avoid confusion.

But my wall cracked if I do void 2 and 3 for second window:(

Like this?

Edit void 2, select it and Uncut Geometry, then Cut Geometry again and this time make sure to Cut only the glass. Repeat for void 3 for the frame.

Still fails?  Share the model.

I tried many times. Please see attached

Where are the cracks?  And share the model, not just pictures.
