Linking Generic Model (Void) to two different reference planes

[Anonymous]

I am new to creating and editing door and window families. I am editing an existing Revit Family now.

It is a Generic Model that contains windows and doors and a precast panel above (Nested Family). 

Through the bottom ribbon (the PREVIEW VISIBILITY ON / OFF), I can turn on/off doors and windows. 

Previously, doors and windows laid on the same reference plane. They now lay on different reference planes because the windows have 30 mm offset from the base. The issue is that I cannot set the Generic Model Void to the Visible parameter, so I was wondering how I can manage to create a Void to be referenced to two different reference planes.

I hope it is clear. Please find attached a snapshot. 

Thanks

In short: no

Somewhat longer: no, you can't have one side of your extrusion hosted at two reference planes.

Possible solution: Create a formula that adds 30mm to the extrusion when it is a door

Thanks! I did it, but I don't know why it doesn't cut the window now.

Please see attached. 

Thanks!

You can control the void to cut or to not cut by adding a parameter to control the dimension of it. Changing the dimension will control how the void intersect or not intersect with the host, and subsequently, cut or not cut the host.

If you want to share your family then attach it here.

Thank you so much.

Please find attached the family. 

Thanks.
