Cut a arrayed family instance with a ref.line or GM Void

Hello fellow Revit-users,

 

I'm facing a problem which i can't find the solution to. So here I'm, hoping to get some answers.

 

I'm building a sloped quay wall, which is constructed with sheet piles.

Since the quay wall is sloped each sheetpile got a different top offset.

 

I tried modelling this by placing the highest sheetpile, array this sheetpile and then use the cut geometry to cut the sheetpile with a reference line. Doing this results in the following error.Snapshot 1.JPG

 

I can cut the sheetpile with the reference line when in group editing mode.

But when I press finish the first sheetpile gets uncut...

I tried doing this by using a General Model Void which gives me the same results.

 

The reason I want to keep them grouped/arrayed is that there is a high change the constructor is chancing the type of sheetpile to a sheetpile with a different width.

 

Anyone can give me a tip for a way to do this easily?

 

Cheers,

David

Ok i think that you create an array when you do that you create a group of elements that is the same with different separation, the thing is if you change one the another change too, the thing that you need to do if you want to modified each element is ungroup your array.

Try a curtain wall and edit profile on elevation. Or a vertical beam system.
