Munkholm, I appreciate your suggestion, but I need to place 3 sinks in one counter top in a multiple accommodation restroom. Multiple sinks in a single counter top is a fairly typical configuration. Id' rather not make counter top families for each number of sinks (which can change during the design process also). I'm new to the program and trying to find the best way to address this fairly typical configuration. According to WWHub, I should be able to tweak the sink family I attached to get the void to cut the counter top. This will allow the maximum flexibility in placing sinks in counter tops. I'm miles from where I want to be, but you're helping me take the next step.

This has been something I have been trying to figure out for a while, and reading this post inspired me to try again. I followed Munkholms directions and thought everything was going to work. My void cut the host in the face based family and when I loaded it into my countertop family it cut the counter, however if I load it into a project and host on my countertop family, it does not cut the countertop. As I was experimenting with placement, I hosted the sink family on the vertical face of a wall and the void did cut the wall. I have also requested help directly from Autodesk regarding the issue. I will attach my families for people to look at. If anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate the feedback. I will also post anything that I learn from Autodesk here.

Hello, I was researching this issue and found this in the Revit Families Guide: "Another way to create components that can be placed with any orientation is to use face-based families. A face-based family must be created from the Generic Model face based.rft template. A face-based component can be placed on any surface, including walls, floors, roofs, stairs, reference planes, and other components. If the family contains a void that cuts the host, the component will cut its host, only if the host is a wall, floor, roof, or ceiling. When a component with a void is placed on any other host, it will not cut." So, it appears the idea of having a sink family with a void that cuts a countertop family in a project will not work. However, if you model your countertop as an in-place family and place the sink family with the void in the countertop while in-place editing, the void will cut.
