About this asset

This wall-hosted Revit family creates a clean door-shaped void in structural or architectural walls, featuring clear dashed line graphics. This Revit family functions as a parametric void cutter designed to generate simple door openings within wall elements. The geometry is purely functional, consisting of a rectangular cut-out that penetrates the host wall host thickness. It is stripped of any door hardware, panels, or frames, focusing entirely on providing a clean aperture for architectural or structural planning. The family includes specific annotation settings to display dashed lines in plan views, ensuring that the opening is clearly represented in documentation without requiring complex geometry or nested door components.

The download is a 184 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this family into your project and use the component tool to place the void within any wall instance. Once hosted, the void automatically cuts the host wall, allowing for real-time visibility in both 3D views and floor plans. Use the instance parameters to adjust the width and height of the opening to match your specific door schedule requirements. Ensure the visibility settings for the annotation lines are correctly mapped to your object styles for consistent line weights.

This asset is essential for early-stage design, schematic modelling, and structural coordination where specific door types have not yet been selected. It serves as a placeholder for door openings in residential, office, and commercial projects, allowing architects and engineers to define circulation paths and structural requirements accurately. Professionals use this to quickly clear wall space for doorways in floor plans, sections, and elevations, ensuring that MEP and structural services account for the opening before detailed door families are inserted later in the workflow.
