Question regarding using cutout maps to generate ceiling baffles:
I thought of an idea to use a cutout map on a material to create a baffle effect, I make a compound ceiling with a 50mm thickness, however, when using the material, the material isn't 500mm solid in thickness and leaves an air gap, does anyone know why this is the case? I thought it a better way to create the effect than sketching a lot of linear rectangles, I thought in theory this method should work quite well but if you see the screenshots attached, this is not the case.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Cut out materials can be a good way to indicate design intent (e.g perforated panels, grating) and is definitely a good way ta avoid working too detailed. Materials in Revit is relative limited. And you see this in these casea. Basically Revit does not know how to fill the sides at the cuts resulting in these kind of issues. These cut out materials work relatively well for htin materials (glass, thin steel panels etc)
In this case it is regarding a ceiling. It will have impact on on the building and other disciplines (HVAC, ligthing, sensors etc). Therefore modelling is in my opinion a good way to go. You could use a beam system. Create/load some beams and create the ceiling.
Advantage is that you have control over spacing, beams and position. The beams you use are box like so should not have huge impact on the model. If you are dealing with many ceilings you might consider using separate workset or separate linked model to keep the model light.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
