Hi there,

 I've built a series of floors (part of a deck), that I have positioned on a steel frame. All good so far. I need to cut a recess/void into the overhang of the deck to create a slot where I can position some lighting. I've tried a few things (creating a floor slab won't work as need the consistency of the pattern on the top face of the deck, but no luck.

I've added some screen shots of what I am working with. The recess is tiny, but needs to run almost the entire way around the deck. Any ideas of how I could do this?

Thank you in advance, this forum has been incredible useful for my learning in revit as basically teaching myself, thanks to all who has responded.

You say they are floors but "...creating a floor slab won't work..."  I'm confused, are they regular floors or not. Regular floor will absolutly work for what you are doing and then you can create your edge using a floor edge sweep. 

Look into split face for the floor material face.
