Is there a way to create a toposolid like this in Rhino Inside Revit?
I did try to create the toposolid and then tried to create the void as a generic model but I just could´t do it, so I just created the whole geometry in grasshopper and exported it to revit as a directshape, but I was also wondering that there is no a direct shape category for toposolids.
So finally I did it this way
the thing is that I am not getting a toposolid element in revit.
Hope you can help me out.
Hi, ArqCast_S.A.S_Arquit
Please put questions concerning Revit in the Rhino.Inside - Revit Forum Category. (i switched it for you)

Direct Shapes are not ‘real’ Revit Elements. You could put the DirectShape Element in the Topography / TopoSolid Category but its not going to behave like a native TopoSurface
Creating a Toposolid in Rhino.Inside.Revit is simlar to how you would do it in Revit where you add points the determine the elevations of the contours.
Thank you so much Japhy.
I was also wondering if there is a way to create a VOID to then cut a toposolid in Revit?
“Ohh Japhy, thank you so much. But what I actually meant was creating the void inside Grasshopper and then cutting the toposolid in Revit. Would that be possible?”
What I’m trying to do is to create this void in this toposolid. I added the points in the host shape, but I don’t get a rectilinear cut in the toposolid; instead, I get a slope.
Also, I saw that there is a component called “Component Family Void” and I don’t know whether it’s appropriate for this case and how to use it.

Thank you so much in advance.
Here’s a similar example.
Thank you so much, Japhy. That worked. I could create the void, but now I am wondering if there is a way to place the void in the exact same position as in the Rhino model?
I already read what you said in the other post:
“Seeing as this is a one-off, you can create your Void Geometry in Rhino and make your generic model at that location, then place your new family at 0,0,0.”
But I’m kind of a newbie here and I still don’t understand how to do that. Besides, I have to create different types of voids to cut the same toposolid, so I hope you can help me find a way to place several voids in their precise location.
This is what I’m getting so far.
As you can see, the new component family void is not in its place and is even rotated in another direction.
The Revit and Rhino documents share the same origin location 0,0,0. Creating your Family in relation to this will allow you to place your Family at Revit 0,0 and be in the same location as Rhino.
“Wowww!! Invaluable, Japhy, that was fantastic. I can’t thank you enough. Now I am able to complete my whole project in Rhino Inside Revit.”
Thank you once again.
