Solution 3

If you've modified the I_MF C+C_CH Stud (Imperial) or M_MF C+C_CH Stud (Metric) family, check if the family still has the void (orange wireframe around the family):

If it doesn't have the void, you'll need to reload the original stud family in one of the three ways:

Option 1

You can load it from your older projects but make sure it has the void.

  1. Open a new project. Go to Settings > Load Families > Main Families

  2. Find the family in the Project Browser under the Structural Framing category.

  3. Open the family. Load it into your desired project and close the family.

Option 3

Find it on your computer. Once you have found the family, drag and drop it into your project.
