Hello,
I can't make Solids and Voids work together when modeling an In-Place Mass!
I want to create empty spaces inside a solid mass, and for that I figured it would be a good way to create voids that are connected to each other. But the thing is that I can't find a way to build voids that are next to each other, have one common plane as a side. When I try it, I get the following message:
"Cannot remake form that is currently cut or joined to other geometry. Please uncut or unjoin first." I just can't find a way to uncut or unjoin. Why would that be necessary if I'm building solids out of different polygons, even if their edges geometrically intercept?
I'm attaching a picture to make it clearer.
I also tried modeling what Munkholm explained in his Revit Nightmares blog, unsuccesfully too:
I can't find a way to attach Reference Planes to the Voids. Does that only work while making Conceptual Masses or is this function available in In-Place Masses too?
Also, regarding Reference Planes: I wanted to create Reference Planes that are angled in position to my 4 Elevations (N,S,W,E). Is this possible? I could only build Reference Planes that are perpendicular to an existing Elevation or Plane View. And how do I delete Refence Planes that are not being used anymore? Apparently hitting delete is not doing the trick.
Thanks a lot!
