Tapered Hole in Wall Element

[alex244563]

Hi, I am new to Revit.

I am trying to create a tapered hole in a wall element i.e. one side of the opening is larger than the other side, which gives an angular intersection in plan.

Look forward to hearing any advice!

One way would be to create a conic Mass Element, rotated to have its base parallel to the face of the Wall, with the cone passing through the Wall. This could then be added as an Interference condition to the Wall, and then the layer of the Mass Element could be frozen. See attached file, done in ACA 2010, for an example.

You can also do it in the family editor. In your door or window family delete the "Opening Cut" object. In the plan view add a reference line starting at the intersection of the Left plane and interior wall plane and set the angle required, repeat for the other side. Now create a void extrusion locked to the interior and exterior wall planes and the reference lines at the sides. Use the cut geometry tool on the wall and then choose the void (in the family editor). When loaded into a project this will create an opening tapered on plan.
