Creating void in walls for ducts

Revit
1

Hi,
I create a graph that let u select a wall&duct then place a void family instance(Genric Model wall based) in intersection,
dimension of void taken from duct parameters (width,height,etc).
the graph show that void instance is created but no element in Revit.
any idea about the reason?

Maybe change it to an element with geometry (temporarily) to check its position.

Try removing the ‘set elevation’ as it appears you are pushing the item off of the wall.

the issue is that void doesnt have a host,
i changed the node to FamilyInstance.ByHostAndPoint instead of FamilyInstance.ByPoint ,
now i still with the default Elevation that i should remove , is there a way to remove it from the family?

Then add parameter to width and height of opening and use family based face & this is the result.

Hi rinag, could you please share the dynamo workflow. It would be a huge help. I have been stuck with this workflow for a frustratingly long time with no apparent solution.
