Cutting Voids from Floors

Hi,

I’m trying to cut Voids from Floors using the Void element with no success.

Normally, in Revit, I create a custom Model In Place Floor element set to Void, then, when finished, I cut it with the desired floor, and it works like a charm. How can I achieve this with RIR?

I reviewed related threads in the forum and didn’t find a solution, as I prefer not to use openings, shafts, direct shapes etc., but only Revit Floor and Revit Voids. Is it possible?

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Hi Nave,

If you aren’t scripting it, use the cut button in the Revit in the Modify Ribbon.

Hi @Japhy and thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, within Revit, I can’t cut the “red box” (the Void) from the floor, it even can’t be selected. It can be displayed the same as it is within Rhino though.

Even in Rhino the cutting doesn’t take action, I don’t know if this is how it should behave or not, but from viewing different related topics in the forum I don’t think that this is the desired result as on other topic it can be seen that the void cuts a wall properly, here’s an example:

Here it can be clearly seen that the void, that is marked in yellow, is properly cutting the wall both on Rhino and Revit, which is also displayed using the correct Void appearance - an Orange wirefarme, which is different from what I’m getting.

In summery, I want to achieve the same result but for floors.

Thank you very much! :slight_smile:

Did you place the void family inside the Revit Project? I believe its just the rhino preview (Red Box).

Follow this workflow if necessary

after placing the Void you have to manually cut the floor with Void.

Just adding here for reference, I frequently use the below join/cut/unjoin components.. so maybe they would come in handy.
