Setting the scene, I have an existing floor with slopes modeled (using modify sub element). On top of this I am looking to place a ramped deck. This deck is made up of two layers (wood, void former). The void former should vary to fit the existing floor below.

The issue I am having is that when I join the two to cut the bottom of the void former to the floor below, the material buildup is removed and replaced by a nondescript grey.

Any idea what is causing this? Obviously I could not join the two and instead create voids to cut the floor excess, but there must be a neater solution?

I don't believe you want to join these floors.  They are/should be in different phases. 

I think your best solution would be to use an in-place void to cut the bottom of your new floor.

Yes they are on different phases in my live model (I think I forgot to asign phases in the attached demo though). Why would this stop me from joining them?

An inplace void is certianly a solution I have considered, but I was hoping Revit might have a more elegant solution. Also, I was hoping to understand what this grey material Revit replaced the buildup with was?
