Placing A Recess in a Slab in Revit

Every had the problem you wanted to create a recess in a slab within Revit just like in the below image.



You would think you can just edit the slab profile and simply just add a void into the slab where you need it, then define a depth you require. Well you can it just added a hole straight through the slab.

Another option is to draw a shaft and adjust the depth so only part of the shaft goes through the slab. Yet again it cuts all the way through the slab creating a opening through the slab.

The solution is to create a Void Family and load it and place it onto the floor to create your recess. If you want to know how to do this then please take a look at the following link:
