Revit 2016 - Wall Foundation - Help Needed

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:41:50 GMT

Does anyone know how to adjust the wall foundation so that it stops short of the end of the wall? I am working on custom schedules for our estimators and need to have the wall foundations stop short of the ends of the wall. Normally Revit will end the foundation at the footing however my continuous footing is wider and deeper than the footing it is hitting. I know I can split the walls at the edge of foundation an disallow join however this is more work than we need to be doing. Below is an image what is happenning.

This is what I want without split lines. Having to draw extra lines takes up too much time. It may not seem like much here in this preview but when You need to do it between every footing it could waste up to 30min.

If you create a duplicate of the wall foundation (i.e. bearing footing - 36" x 12" and uncheck "Do Not Break At Inserts" it appears to give you want you want....see image.

Thank you for the suggestion but that still doesn't fix the issue that we are having. If you look at my original image the footing under the wall is 8'-0" x 3'-0", it is deeper and doesn't line up with the iso footings. The continuous/wall foundation wraps around and under the iso footing which is what I want to avoid. When I tried your suggested method I still didnt the results I was looking for.

I have looked at it again. There is no way to make Revit do what you want with the footings by default. Splitting the wall is the current solution....sorry.

Hi, how are you.

This can solve the problem. adding to the concrete family property in the properties palette as show in the picture. (the two families should have the same property) to activate neceitas that does not cut the intersection of the elements.

Regards.
