Placing Void Proposals in Semi-Automatic Mode

Shows step-by-step how to semi-automatically place void proposals.

Before you begin

You want to place void proposals in semiautomatic mode and use it to resolve collisions between pipe networks, duct networks or cable trays with walls or ceilings. In semi-automatic mode, the side distance of a breakthrough proposal is specified and the dimensions are determined automatically based on the pipe/duct or cable routing.

Requirement:

All relevant disciplines are displayed via the view control.

Navigate to:

Project tab ➤ Void planning discipline ➤ Construction tab

Construction tab breakthrough planning Linear Revit

Procedure

If the architecture or MEP components are in a linked file, select Architecture in link or MEP components in link.
Open the Provision section.
Select the void type and the placement of the void.
Activate Size by component selection.
Enter the lateral distance.

The lateral distance is the distance between the pipe, duct or cable trays and the inner edge of the opening.

Note: The setting Round up placeholder dimensions in the Options dialog (Tab LINEAR ➤ Options ➤ Breakthrough planning) results in the lateral distances generated in the model being larger than the lateral distance specified here, because the calculated dimensions of the breakthrough proposal have been rounded up according to the setting. This applies to all placeholders where lateral spaces are specified.
Click Provisions < and follow the displayed instructions.

Results

The void proposal is placed.
