- When you're modeling, there are several different void objects that you can use to cut holes in existing geometry. So, two approaches you of course could take, you could build up more complex items as a series of smaller objects that you assemble together, or you can create a larger object that you then use voids to cut away from. And, y'know in some cases it really is a matter of personal preference, but there certainly are some potential advantages to each approach. Now, I just want to kind of do a quick inventory of the opening objects that are available, so you're going to find those on the Architecture tab. And I'm working in a project environment, you'll have something similar in the Family editor with void forms. So these opening objects are similar to void forms in the family editor, but they both do essentially the same thing, they're solid geometry that cuts away from other geometry. So if we kind of look at the…
