Void in face based family not cutting multiple layers

Hi,

 

So I made a face based generic model containing a void to cut the host element in the project.

It's all working great except that the family is only cutting through 1 floor (the one it was placed in). However i want it to cut through all floors and ceiling below it aswell.

 

I checked "Cut with Voids when loaded" in the family and also gave a parameter so i can adjust the depth of the void.

 

How can i make this family cut multiple floors?

 

See attached PDF.

 

Kind regards.

A Host based family with a void precut inn the family only cuts one element - its host when loaded in project. To cut multiple elements, don't precut in the family, check cut with void when loaded, and use cut geometry manually with multiple cut option in project.
