View Full Version : Solids as voids in Families with on/off control

Parametrically Change Visibility
Visibility of solid elements and nested families can be controlled parametrically. Each such element has a visibility property. This property’s value can be set explicitly, or driven by the value of a Yes/No parameter. When invisible, elements do not disappear. They continue to participate in join geometry. Voids cannot be controlled in this way.

So does this mean that solids can be used as 'voids'? We can create a solid, join the geometry, then turn off the solid and the 'cut' will remain?
