In fact, they must be using this crucial parameter quite often while creating parametric or custom components in Revit. &nbsp;In Revit, custom components are created by using its Family Editor. So while working on Family Editor, you must have observed that &lsquo;Cut with a void when loaded&rsquo; parameter is contained in Family Template files which are Model-based.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog, I am going to tell you, what this particular parameter is actually used for?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The process of cutting a solid architectural element by a family that contains Void, by using &lsquo;cut with a void when loaded&rsquo;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Well, the main purpose of using &lsquo;cut with the void when loaded&rsquo; parameter is to cut solid architectural elements when loaded in a project.<\/li><li>To show how this parameter works, let us first create an architectural element that will be later on cut by our family. For example, let&rsquo;s create a section of floor and see if it can be cut by our family that contains a void.<\/li><li>So, once Revit users have created a floor in Project Environment, they should jump to Family Editor.<\/li><li>&nbsp;Revit users should now develop a simple family that contains a void by using Revit&rsquo;s Family Editor. This family should be able to cut the floor when it is loaded into the project.<\/li><li>For creating the family with the void, let&rsquo;s use &lsquo;Metric Generic Model&rsquo; template.<\/li><li>So for keeping the family simple, let&rsquo;s include only two elements in it, solid extrusion and avoid extrusion.<\/li><li>The solid extrusion will go above the reference plane; however, the void extrusion will go below the reference plane.<\/li><li>So once the family containing the void is created, Revit users should save it.<\/li><li>Now go to the properties panel and checkout and select the parameter &lsquo;cut with a void when loaded.&rsquo;<\/li><li>Revit users before selecting the newly created family, should first select &lsquo;cut geometry&rsquo; tool and then select a floor.<\/li><li>Once both &lsquo;cut geometry&rsquo; tool and floor is selected, it&rsquo;s time to select the newly developed family.<\/li><li>This helps Revit users in cutting floor with the assistance of a family that contains void and &lsquo;Cut with Void When Loaded&rsquo; parameter.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This completes our process!
