Mass visibilty control in Familes

[yazanhijazeen]

Is there any way to control the visibilty of Masses in Familes?

Are you talking about a Mass in a Conceptual Mass family? Select the Mass. In Properties, click on the gray rectangular button next to the Visible checkbox. That will allow you to associate the visibility with a family parameter.

sorry, its my mistake, i forgot to mention (Void-Masses) not solid masses, i am trying to control the visibility of a (void mass) in a Door Family.

To the best of my knowledge - there is no way to control the visibility of a Void. At most you can add parametric constraints to the Void Extrusion so that it does not penetrate the target Solid Extrusion under the conditions specified by the formula.

You're kind of talking two different things; Mass Families and Door Families.  Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve?

I am talking about controlling the visibilty of the ( Void Masses) in Door families, and not about Mass families

You mean Void Geometry (e.g. Extrusion, Sweep, etc.). No; there is no way to control Void Visibility, but there are tricks you use to do seemingly the same thing.  Give us more information about what the Void is doing. Is it cutting Solid Geometry and you want to have a condition where it is not cutting?  Or, is it an unattached Void that cuts in the Project Environment?  

ZIP and post your family.
