Hi all,

I have created a kitchen cupboard family. This family can be placed anywhere and be adjusted in its dimensions. I have also brought in a sink family and positioned it accordingly in relation to the bench top.

Is there any reason why revit will not allow me to cut a hole in the bench top to suit the sink?

I thought the cut geometry tool works on anything?

Can you edit the counter top and draw a hole in it? Usually I have found that is the easiest way. Just like you draw a floor or a mass, draw the outside face of the countertop as a closed loop, then add an inner loop for you sink. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I can.

I was trying to avoid this as it means I will need to create a whole bunch of cabinet families just to cater for the different sink holes and cabinet pofiles. It would have been nice if the sink you decide to use in your cabinet would autonatically cut the cabninet top as you place it.

I guess once I have set up the different familes I shouldn't have to repeat each time.

Better get started.

If I'm understanding the process you are using correctly, you should be able to use your sink position parameters to make dimensions that correctly place your hole. You can add reference planes and parametric dimensions while in sketch mode to constrain your hole-cutting-lines to match-up with your sink. It's a trial and error thing, but you may be able to just pick-tool the sink ring and run with it.
