Hi! I'm trying to make a water mirror in a floor but i dont know how to cut the it without completely penetrating it.

In other words, I need different heights in the same floor.

Use two different floors with an inplace family on top.

The first is the normal floor with complete thickness and a hole cut out. Copy the shape of the hole.

The second is the normal floor with its thickness reduced depending in the the depth of the water. Paste the hole lines you copied so the perimeter of the floor perfectly matches the hole.

Create an inplace family using the same lines you copied to fill the hole with water.

Done.

Why not it perfectly represents how you would build it in real life. 2 floor types and water.

It will alow you to schedule the differing floors. It will give you depths for spot levels and only take you a few moments to do it.

You could use a face based family using a void to cut out the water depth I guess but as its a one-off it will be quicker to do the way I described.
