I am working in Revit 2011.  I am making a curved disc in an octagon rotate curtain wall panel.  I have tested the parametrics I have set up periodically to ensure that they work properly (changing the radius and height).  The only issue i have is when I added the void forms to the disc.  The void forms had very limited ways to attach them to the parameters.  I have locked them, but is there a way to align them?  I haven't been able to do that with the voids.

I have attached the screenshot of the disc with the void forms before I changed the parameters.  I have also attached a screenshot after I changed the parameters.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!

Try this: DON'T create a VOID, create a MASS, now attach and align like you want, now select that mass and convert to void, tell me if this work.

Thanks!  That works!  I never thought of doing that!  That sounds like something I should do every time.
