I am trying to create a parametric glider window that will pocket into an exterior wall. I have ran into a stumbeling block and cannot get it to finction properly when loaded into a project. Could someone please take a look at it and let me know what i need to do to fix it. Our office is currently running Building Design Suite 2014. Thanks in advance for the help.

Please tell us what is not working properly so that we don't have to dig through and try to find out ourselves.

As teafoe says - you should really ask a complete question. This is a business that requires communication.
If your problem is the pocket. You can only ha a wall cut but you need a void for the window and a void for the pocket. You can delete the wall cut and then you can add voids as needed. Read more on this in similar threads. Also I suggest you download the families guide from the autodesk site.

when i drop it into the plan, there is no void in the wall so that it shows up correctly. In the model attached I do have a void drawn but it is not cutting the wall. so basically the wall (pocket) still shows solid. @ WWHub, you talk about only having a wall cut and not a void. When i created the window i did use the "void extrusion" to make it. Could you please verify what/how you are refering?

You need to read my post again. You can not have a wall cut and a void! Delete the wall cut, then replace that with a void and add another void for the pocket cut.
Better yet, download a pocket door from the downloads and examine how that family is built.

The "families guide" will show you how to do this.
Just recognize that Revit likes things done in order and you are doing yours backwards. Adding a void afterwards will cut your geometry instead of the wall. Make the void away from your elements then move it into place.
