![]() By using the rectangle command it will automatically show you the Locks to lock the lines to the reference planes. Using the Draw panel choose Rectangle and select the two corners of the reference planes. Go to the Create tab and choose Void Forms, on the drop-down pick on Void Extrusion. Now we are going to create the Void that will cut the model objects in our project. Select on the Family Types tool and change the numbers for Width and Length and pick on Apply. We need to see if the reference planes are flexing correctly. Do this again for the vertical dimension and call it Width and keep it as a Type parameter. Since I choose the horizontal dimension I’m going to name it Length and keep it as a Type parameter and pick Ok. This will now open the parameter properties dialog box. Now select one of the dimensions and on the Option Bar choose Label. Now we need to add the dimensions for the overall width, length, and equal the edges around the center two reference planes. This way I can dimension to the edges of the depression if I need to. I like to pick on the reference planes and in the properties give each reference plane a name and also change the “Is Reference” from Weak Reference to Front, Back, Right, and Left to each appropriate reference plane. ![]() The first thing is building four additional reference planes to control the length and width. The goal is being able to put this on any surface and to control the width, length, and depth. There is one family called Generic Model face based that will go onto any surface that you choose.įor today to cover the bases I will start with the Generic Model face based.rft template. So depending on the type of depression that you are wanting to do on a particular modeling element depends on which one to start with. Notice in the below list that there a few to choose from that have a suffix of “Based” in the name. We will start with an out of the box family template but you will need to decide which face based family you would want to use. Out of the box there is not a simple family to do this but let’s learn how to build one. I get asked quite a lot about doing depressions in slabs, floors, and walls with Revit. In this Click Savers I want to discuss a family that is missing from the Revit platform.
