Missing Infill Element

[KarenLBR]

Hello.

I've got an 'interesting' quirk occurring when I try to demolish an existing door as part of the New Construction Phase. I'm using Revit Light 2023.

When I select the appropriate phasing instruction to demolish the door, I do not get an infill element and I'm left with a hole in the wall.  I do not have this issue when I demolish an adjacent window. 

The original wall has two layers of masonry, one block and one brick. On the off chance this is an issue between the wall build up, I have changed this to a single skin of brick to the same thickness and I get the same issue.

     

 

The same door model is in other locations in the model (solid masonry walls) and I do not have this issue. 

 

For my current presentation I can 'patch' with annotation fill regions, but this is clearly not a permanent, good long term solution! Any advice welcome.

Many thanks

Does the door have a void instead of a cut opening?

[KarenLBR]

Good thought @ToanDN but no.

I've just checked to be certain.

Do you see the infill in a 3d view, phase = new, phase filter = show complete?

[KarenLBR]

Sadly not. Just a hole in the building... whereas the adjacent window has been filled in as should be expected.

Try the Pick Primary Host Tool.

Aha!

Thanks @barthbradley . I didn't have the 'pick primary host' tool option. However, I did pick new host. Positioning the door in the same wall in the same spot has now worked! 

Thanks both for your help.

Sounds like I was right-thinking.  Re-hosting fixed the problem.  Glad I could point to in the right direction.  Credit would have been nice, but I'll take the lump.  

Have a good one.

Sorry @barthbradley , I thought I had accepted your reply instead of my own - certainly your direction was crucial.  Now corrected.

Thanks. 😉
