Adjust the Levels and Elevation of Openings
Introduction
In this session, you will learn how to adjust the level and elevation of openings in Revit. Rather than modifying the parameters directly in the Revit Properties Window, it's recommended to use the [Level/Elevation] feature. This feature ensures that the position of the opening is set precisely as needed.
​
By adjusting the levels and elevation of openings, you can accurately calculate the distance to floors and display the information in 2-D plans, which are commonly used on construction sites.

Overview
Adjust Openings Levels
To adjust the levels of openings using the [Level/Elevation] feature, follow these steps:
-
Go to the [conclass] Ribbon tab and start the 'Level/Elevation' feature.
-
In the dropdown menu, select the top and base levels that you want to constrain the openings to.
-
Select one or multiple openings.
-
Click the [Apply] button next to the dropdown menu.
ConVoid will now automatically adjust the constrain and calculate the distance of the selected openings to the desired levels.
Adjust Openings Elevation
To adjust the Top, Middle, or Bottom Elevation of openings, follow these steps:
-
Go to the [Level/Elevation] feature.
-
Select one or multiple openings.
-
In the Elevation dropdown menu, select the Base or Top Level that you want to use as a reference to set the elevation.
-
Set the Top, Middle, or Bottom Elevation to the desired value.
-
Click the [Apply] button next to the elevation value or press enter.
ConVoid will now automatically adjust the elevation of the selected openings based on the reference level and the elevation you have set.
Warnings
If you change the elevation of an opening placed automatically by ConVoid, you will receive a warning that the position of the opening will be reset during the next creation and updating process. To prevent ConVoid from changing the location of the openings, you can enable the 'Exclude from conVoid' parameter. This will ensure that the opening stays in its current position.
