I can’t believe that last video took the entire 5 minutes to show you how to cut a solid! It’s so much easier with a gas powered chainsaw… >_> Anyhow, let’s continue our study of voids. This is a new little tool available in 2011 that allows you to cut holes in solids using *gasp* other solids! So now that we’ve seen method one of subtractive addition, we’ll take a look at the new solid-solid cutting method.
This is a fairly straight forward tool.
- Select Cut
- Select the Solid that will be cut
- Select the Solid that will do the cutting
The intersection of the solids results in a “void” created int he solid that is being cut in the shade of the solid that is doing the cutting. The biggest difference is that you keep both of the forms. Nothing disappears or is eaten! Yay!
So now you know masses and voids. Time to play around with them. You have all weekend to think about it before the next TotD! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again for the next Revit TotD!
