Now select Tools ? Cut Geometry from the Top Pull Downs. (Figure 10)
Figure 10
The box turns back to the color orange, and the cursor becomes a target.
Select the cut extrusion that you created. (Figure 11)
Figure 11.
Next the cursor changes to a strange combination of boxes, with that cursor
select the wall.
And your void will cut a hole in the wall. (Note- you must tell Revit
to take the void out of something for the void to show up – The
void will be there, it just won’t cut anything unless you tell it
to)
Figure 12.
In the 3D view you should see something like this:
Figure 13.
Now to the point of the tutorial. How do we make the opening lines, bold (in
elevation) in a wall into which we insert this void?
Back to the Placement side elevation. – (NOTE: Again, I am not
discussing reference lines, or parametric changes in size here –
but you need to understand and USE both ) By the way – save your
tutorial project if you haven’t.
In your Placement Elevation view select Model lines, cut [projection].
This is the Subcategory that we created, and the projection model line
is for elevations – see tutorial one. Be sure the wall edge is the
plane you are working in (How ? – Right beside the Model line selection
(under the File pull down) there is a box that allows you to select the
work plane you want the line in – be sure Wall Edge is showing)
then draw your model lines following the void lines. (If you had used
reference planes you could snap to them – you will probably have
problems matching the model lines to the void edges without the reference
planes) You have now placed your cut projection lines on your elevation
of the void. (Figure14.)
Now go back to your object types, and select your cut {projection category]
and change the pen weight to a bold line type. (How – See tutorial
one) Your void edge should appear similar to this (Figure 14)
Figure 14.
