I have made a Structural Family Foundation for a Turbine Pedistal.
I attempted to use the standard beam, column and floor framing to make this pedistal but found I couldn't develop the large area cuts and specialty details so I made my own family for this particual pedistal. Worked great until I put it in the model.

Now I need to put in mezzanine framing and other elements inside. Unfrotunately, the family doesn't cut at the floor levels. regardless of what floor I am at I see the top of the pedistal. It will cut it at sections, but not floor levels.

This was originally a Generic Family but I changed to to Structural Foundation thinking that might be the problem. It's not.

I have attached the file.

Any ideas would be great.

To all those who looked at my problem, I think I figured it out and it seems to work. However, This is obviously not the way to solve this problem. Does anybody have any other suggestions on how I should do this differently in the future?
