Hello everyone,
Last time I was here, you guys helped me out A LOT, so here's a new challenge, which I cannot seem to tackle..
So I'm trying to build a "shutter" family, for the front of some houses, under the slanted roof. I want to make it smart enough, to be used in other projects and with different measurements, so I'm building a family.
My first thought was this:
1) build a beam
2) nest the beamfamily in a stretchable beamsystem family.
3) give the nested beamfamilies an array which I can control the distance between beams and the total amount/height of the beamsystem
4) cut the sides of the beamsystem with the angle the roofs make.
But, unfortunately, Revit doesn't cut my nested families with a void.
I cóuld use a voidfamily-facebased to cut of all of the seperate beams, but then the arrayfucntion doesn't work anymore.
So to sum it up, I wish I would know how to create a family, which I can stretch upwards and which than makes extra beams, control the distance between the individual beams and cuts of the sides (slanted) of the beams in an angle which I can also control.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you in advance for your expertise!!

Björn
