automatic cut wall-sole

[ronny84]

First of all, I am new to the forum and in general new to model bim with revit 2011! I am at the second project (five-storey residential warehouse), the first I have done it just in an approximate way to understand the bim logic, now I am paying more attention to the details and one of the things that I understand less is the following:

I created the external enclosure of the building (couple), once I defined I created the suns at every level through the automatic selection command that places me the perimeter of the insulating and masonry so that this does not have interruptions. and so far ok. when I close the floor revit asks me if I want to associate the walls at the base of the floor itself, I say no, then tells me that walls and insole intersect and if I want to cut. I say "yes" only that, I do not understand according to which criterion, some walls size, others no! I attach an exemplifying image.
already in view 3d it can be seen that the two walls that border the loggia of the balconies were not cut as instead it happened for the perimeter walls. in the two sections you can see even better the problem, in the b-b all right, while in the a-to sun and wall intersect without interacting. and this happens to me at random, sometimes they cut and sometimes not.. equal to type of wall and insole!

and so much that I have a curiosity: There is a way to configure a union in such a way that, for example, the layers of the insole and the masonry are interlinked as in the following image (do not mind the fact that it is conceptually wrong... is 1 example!)?
thanks in advance for the answers! :smile:

edit: I add that even the "manual" cut does not work! It just doesn't allow me to select the insole!

cut or union?

one of the elements united actually cuts the other according to the following scheme:

- the walls cut the pillars.
- structural elements cut host elements (walls, roofs, ceilings and floors).
- floors, ceilings and roofs cut the walls.
- the gutters, the bands and edges of the floors cut other host elements. frames do not cut any element.


command: change group> geometry> join geometry >unisci geometry.

for layers see the following tutorial:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/attachment.php?attachmentid=3982&d=1213215118

Thank you very much for the answer! I thought you had to cut the elements.. Instead it was enough to do the reverse operation and join them! :biggrin: now geometries intersect properly!

thanks also for the tutorial, it seems well done.. As soon as I have a little time I study it! :
