How to void sweep the result of a different solid and void combo?

[kmcalpin]

First I created a solid, which I then cut with an extruded void. I want to create a void sweep by picking the 3D lines of the resulting geometry from the first step. This generates the error: "There is a circular chain of references among the highlighted elements." Seems as though this is not possible with Revit...

Like this?

I looked at your family and even though I could make a void sweep without the circular error, it failed to fillet due to nature of the 3d path.  I suggest to export the leg to a solid DWG and do the fillet solid in AutoCAD, then bring it back in your family.

Thank you for the quick reply. I tried replicating your example and I get the same error unfortunately. Is that oval a part of the solid geometry profile or cut with a void extrusion?

Steps:

- Solid extrusion is cut with a void extrusion to create the hole

- Copy it to the side, set the solid to Invisible, create a void sweep using pick path, (and here is the important part) select a profile and set the profile offset so that it will NOT touch the solid

- Finish the void sweep and change profile offset to the correct location, the void now touches the solid host but will not cut it

- Move the solid and its void back to the original location, turn on Preview mode so the Invisible solid disappears

- Cut the origin Visible solid with the void

Again, it works for my example be cause the path is simple and coplanar, it will not work for your model but not because of the circular error.

Here is after using fillet command in AutoCAD.
