I am working in Revit2010 and have created a mass model of a school building we are working on. The masses were created with both "Box" and "in place" mass elements. I am now trying to insert storefront windows by editing the face of a mass area. I have no problem doing this to masses that I built in place, but cannot figure out how to edit a "Box" to create window areas. All I ca find to do is edit the "Family" which opens up the generic "Box" family. I cannot see where I can change the element to not be a "Box". I would hate to recreate all my "boxes" with in place masses. What am I missing. Dan Iacovoni

Don't use masses! You are really creating a problem for yourself. Masses are to study form but they don't do squat when you start developing the project. Use walls / floors / roofs ...

Thank you for responding. I am new to Revits and wanted to start this first project using all of their "Tools". I have seen where Ecotech can do a lot of up front analysis from a simple model before getting too deep into the design. I wanted to start using the massing tool for this purpose. Sounds like massing is not used too extensively if people jump right into walls, roofs and floors. Thoughts?
