Hello, all.

     I'm trying to create a wall-hosted component that is recessed into the wall. I added a wall opening, so at present when I place the component, it goes into the wall perfectly from the front. However, the wall opening goes through the entire wall. This ways that when I identify the component, the wall is cut all the way through, regardless of the component'southward depth (half dozen" in this particular case). Not good.

     Is there a ameliorate way to create a void for this component, or is at that place a way to control the depth of a wall opening and then it will cut the opening on the placement side of the wall and let me control the depth of it?

Cheers a agglomeration!

If this is a face based or wall based component, you should edit the family and add a void that cuts the host to the proper depth.

If this is a not-hosted family unit, yous can create a face-based, paremetric family that cuts it's host with a variable size and depth.  Information technology could be usable in many dissimilar applications.

This component will be wall-hosted, but I have no idea how to do what y'all are recommending, nor accept I found whatsoever information near it. Tin can you tell me more nigh this or straight me to a aid section folio with the information?

Thank y'all so much! You are a huge assist.

Okay, here is the trouble I take run into: I am trying to create a specialty equipment - wall hosted component and can create a void extrusion, but it will not cutting the default wall included in the family blazon. It shows up equally a yellowish transparent mass that is in the wall, but it does not cut the wall. So, how do I specify that the void should "cut the host"? I don't see any commands like this anywhere. Tin you tell me where I tin observe this?

Cheers again for all the help.

did you saw the video? I don't call back so....

Select the "Cut Geometry" tool then select the void then the wall.

Jason,

Run into attached family.

It is a parametric family can you can command the depth of the opening

Se your depth (wall depth) to whatever depth you desired

Okay, I'one thousand almost in that location, I think. Now that I know how to brand the void cut the host, I cannot figure out how to dimension to the void itself. I'm trying to create parameters for the void size, just Revit will not allow me snap to the edge of the void for some reason.

For things like bend, revit will never allow you to ready parameter at the border of the geometry, the other way that y'all can practice (that i know of) is to fix the parameter in the sketch mode, see my family and go to edit style of the void, you should meet i have a parameter inside the sketch way.
