Void for door tracks on a concrete profile plan

Hi, 

 

I have a door family that may or may not have a strip drain depending on where it's placed and may or may bot have a bottom frame. I'd like to adjust my door family so that I can tick these parameters on off and not only see them represented on the floor plans but also be able to see the appropriate cut out for these in a concrete profile plan. Kind of like when we place showers with strip drains or floor waste the concrete plan picks up that void. 


I have tried making them hosted, then loading them into my door family but they still don't cut the floor and are not visible on the concrete profile plan. Do I really have to create a hosted void, then load in a family where the track is extruded, then load in that joined family into the door family and load into the project? Seems very russian doll like to me, there has to be an easier way. Also if I turn off walls and doors in my concrete profile plan the bottom track goes too as its category is door. Do I then have to make it a different category or create a filter?

And yes, the user could just individually place the bottom track and strip drain on the plans, I don't have to make it as one family, but I was hoping that it could be done to avoid errors when people forget to include drains and bottom frames.

You would create a void floating in mid air. Give the profile thickness. Make sure you cut the void into the wall.

You would create YES/NO parameter for door track. Then in the void offset, you would placed in formula as shown

Now if you check on the door track, the void will cut into your wall.

@syman2000 But I need it to cut voids into the floor, not the wall. The bottom frame will sit under the wall anyways and the drain will sit outside. Is this even possible in Revit or is there a clever workaround through templates and filters?

You can use method above and turn on "cut with voids when loaded".

Load it into your project and then you would use the cut geometry. Select the floor slab first and then select the door. Once you done that, you will see cut profile into the floor slab.

@syman2000 I just tried placing a void in the middle of my wall and door opening giving it a height of 250 to -300, just to test it out before I give it correct parameters. It is set to cut void when loaded, I've reloaded the family into my project and that void is not cutting the slab, not is it letting me cut door and floor...super weird.

Is your wall opening a void cut or opening cut? If it is opening cut, the void will not cut. You have to switch it to void cut inorder for the void to work.

The opening cut in the wall is an Opening cut, not a void cut, ahaaaa...so that's why none of the voids are cutting. 

How do I switch it to a void cut, and what do I do with the opening cut?

Thanks!

You have to remove the opening cut and then create void extrusion where the opening cut reside. Then cut the wall with the void extrusion.
