How to Show AOV Window Structural Opening on Floor Plan Below in Revit 2024?

I’m looking to create a Revit 2024 AOV (Automatic Opening Vent) window family where the structural opening is visible on the floor plan of the level below. I’d like to build this functionality directly into the family, rather than using methods like underlays or adjusting view ranges.

So far, I’ve managed to add model lines and can set an offset below the reference plane within the family. However, this approach only shows the entire AOV family on the level below, rather than isolating just the structural opening.

Does anyone have a method for achieving this visibility directly within the family itself, so that only the outline of the opening projects onto the floor plan below?

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

What you could do is select the entire window and change the Visibility/Graphics Overrides so that it doesn't show when the detail level is set to course.

Then draw the structural opening on the floor below using Symbolic Lines and constrain it to your reference planes.

In your models plan view, change the detail setting to course, the button is next to your scale at the bottom of your screen on the left, and then it should work.

Let me know if this works!
