Walls below grade visibility

I am new to Revit Architecture and ran into a issue that might be an easy fix. Or not. I am designing a project that has the foundation wall that is 4'-0" below grade to top of footing. Our standards is to show the foundation wall and footings dashed in building elevation view. I was able to show the footings this way but the foundation wall has the same visibility/graphics as the walls above grade. Can I create a foundation wall that is not a footing? Our foundation walls are 12" concrete with 2" foundation insulation on the exterior.

You can use filters to override graphic of walls depending on a wall's function which is a type property of a wall, just make sure you use a proper wall type: foundation wall should be 'Foundation' while a wall above the ground 'Exterior', 'Interior', etc. under Function in type properties.

There are some other options that will likely work better if part of the foundation wall needs to remain a solid line (above Grade) and some of it is hidden (below grade).  

 

I did a quick video on the top two options which is attached.

 

These are the options

  • Use the linework tool to override the line type of the foundation wall to change to the line type you want.  If part of the line is above and part is below then you will have to adjust the line right after it is overridden.  This fix is view specific and if you duplicate the view does not carry over to the new view.
    • You will also run into situations when you will have to pick and adjust in the same location multiple times which makes this very tedious...even if I try to set them to invisible first.
  • Draw a masking region over the part you want to have hidden.  This is view specific also, but if you duplicate a view with detailing it carries over.
    • This is the least frustrating for me personally
  • Use annotative lines and draw over the top of the foundation with the appropriate line type then turn off the foundation walls.

The walls function is set to "Foundation". But the visibility is controlled by "Walls", which also controls the exterior walls,and the footings are controlled by "Structural Foundation". Is there a way to have the visibility for the foundation wall to also be controlled by "Structural Foundation"?

 

Thank you

A filter would be the best bet for that...or hide the walls by element for the ones you don't want to see.

To add to this, creating a Filter based on the wall Function criteria works if the entire Foundation walls are below grade.  If the condition is similar to what @Revit_Whisperer shows in her sample, then the part above grade of the foundation walls would show dashed as well.

 

If the intent is to show the profile of the foundation for a contextual understanding and/or graphical standards, then I would just use drafting lines constrained to the model geometry, and put them over a masking region (or terrain cut fill, if you have it).

 

It is really a case by case basis, depends on your intent and the actual condition and the inter-relationship of the building and the site.
