Summary
ConVoid Openings is a specialized Autodesk Revit extension developed by conclass that automates the creation and management of MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), structural, and builder’s work openings. The software supports linked Revit and IFC models, enabling coordination across multiple disciplines without requiring all elements to be in the same model. ConVoid handles parametric changes intelligently: if an MEP service or host element moves or resizes, openings update automatically without needing deletion and recreation.Key Features
1. Creates openings (rectangles, circles, or custom polygonal shapes) based on intersections between MEP services and structural host elements. Supports builders work openings, MEP penetrations, recesses and pockets, and structural openings.
2. Automatically updates opening dimensions, locations, and parameters (Width, Height, Diameter) if the MEP service or host element changes. No need to delete and recreate openings manually.
3. Allows specific clearances around services for sealing, firestopping, or insulation requirements. Creates slanted openings when MEP elements intersect host elements at an angle, ensuring accurate openings for sloped pipes or ducts.
4. Supports creation of 3 to 12-sided polygonal openings for complex scenarios where rectangular or circular openings are insufficient.
5. Transfers data from MEP services to opening families including fire ratings, system information, and other parameters. Keeps all data dynamically updated with design changes.
6. Works with linked Revit and IFC models. No model requirements to consider — supports all 3D elements and Revit categories.

How to Use ConVoid Openings
Step 1: Link ModelsLink Revit or IFC models from MEP and structural disciplines. ConVoid Openings works with linked models without requiring all elements in the same file.
Step 2: Define Opening Rules
Set oversize dimensions for clearance and sealing. Configure automatic merging of closely spaced openings to prevent structural issues.
Step 3: Generate Openings
Run automatic opening creation based on intersections between MEP services and structural host elements. Supports rectangular, circular, slanted, and polygonal openings (3-12 sides).
Step 4: Review and Approve
Use BCF export/import to coordinate with structural engineers. Track approval status with color-coded markers.
Step 5: Tag and Dimension
Use smart tagging to automatically place annotations avoiding overlap. Auto-dimension entire walls with openings and MEP elements.
Step 6: Export Reports
Generate reports with Excel, CSV, or HTML export for documentation and audit trails.
Advantages and Limitations
Advantages:- ConVoid automates opening creation, saving significant time compared to manual placement.
- Intelligent updates eliminate manual rework when designs change.
- The software supports linked Revit and IFC models for multi-discipline coordination.
- Oversized settings accommodate firestopping and sealing requirements.
- Slope support handles slanted MEP elements. Polygonal openings (3-12 sides) address complex scenarios.
- Parameter transfer keeps fire ratings and system information synchronized.
- Smart tagging and auto-dimensioning speed up documentation.
- Clash detection identifies coordination issues.
- BCF collaboration enables structured review and approval workflows. Change tracking provides audit trails.
- Manual editing of parameters on openings created by ConVoid is not recommended, as the plugin manages these dynamically.
- The tool marks openings as “Deleted” rather than immediately removing them from the model, requiring verification.
- A 14-day trial limits the evaluation period.
- Full functionality requires a paid license.
