Void extrusion not working on Sweep objects

[Anonymous]

As stated in the title sweep object not working with void extrusion.

The void and the solid should be in the same family.

Void seems to be cutting fine on my end.  Did you post the correct file?  

[barthbradley]

...this void?

[Anonymous]

It's the correct file, I have just added a screenshot of where I want the void to be, welcome to refer to that image

[barthbradley]

They cut fine here...

...you need to select and cut each solid component with the void.

Dunno.  Are you selecting and cutting each elements you want to Cut with the Void? Separate transactions?

I think I know what's going on. You want to cut multiple solids with the same void, but you don't see the void once you cut the first solid.  It's still there. It just isn't in an "unattached" state. That is, it isn't orange and visually detectable anymore.  But it is still there and selectable with your mouse.  Click on Cut Geometry, select the solid to cut and then hover your mouse cursor around where the void is located until it highlights blue -- and then snap on it!

So, how'd I do Flora?

It's cutting fine and you need to select and cut each solid component with the void.

Which Revit version are you using?
