To add a floor opening in Revit, you essentially edit the floor's boundary and draw a closed shape within that boundary. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Select the Floor: Click on the floor element where you want to create the opening.
-
Enter Edit Mode: Go to the "Modify | Floors" tab (which appears after you select the floor). In the "Mode" panel, click "Edit Boundary." This switches the view to a sketch mode where you can modify the floor's outline.
-
Sketch the Opening:
- Navigate to the floor plan view where the floor is sketched (if you aren't already there).
- Use the drawing tools (Line, Rectangle, Circle, etc.) in the "Draw" panel to create a closed loop representing the shape of the opening. This closed loop must be entirely within the original boundary of the floor.
- The sketched shape defines the area that will be removed from the floor.
-
Finish Editing: Once you're satisfied with the shape and placement of the opening, click the "Finish Edit Mode" button (the green checkmark) in the "Mode" panel.
Revit will then create an opening in the floor based on the shape you sketched.
