Place Vertical Opening
To manually place a vertical opening in a Floor or Ceiling Plan, follow these steps:
​
-
Open the desired Floor or Ceiling Plan where you want to place the opening.
-
In the Revit 'Project Browser', expand the Section Families. Look for the 'Generic Model' category and select a horizontal ConVoid opening.
-
Drag and drop the family type into your current view.
-
In the green Ribbon Tab Menu that appears above your current view, select the Height and the Level, which represents the Top Surface of the Floor.
-
Place the opening at the desired location in your 2-D View.
-
To adjust the size of the opening, set the parameters for Width, Length, Diameter, and Depth. These dimensions represent the sizes of the reference element, such as a duct. Alternatively, use the arrows at the edges of the opening to resize it.
-
To add a clearance zone or set an oversize, set the parameters for 'Oversize Left/Right/Back/Front/Bottom/Top'.
-
To modify the Level, Elevation, Shape, or Alignment of the opening, we highly recommend using the features in the Modify Void Tab.
