L shaped Foundatoin

Greetings,

 

I've been working on a Revit archive for a course I'm tkaing this term. I was given a CAD archive and this type of foundation was among the details, it's a l shaped foundation. How can I make it on Revit. Or can't I?

 

Thanks in advance

hi, yes you can start with creating a families by using metric column.rft > create > extrusion then you be able to set dimension parameters. Or in your project you can go to architecture > component > model in-place . thanks

Unfortunately, you cannot use a wall foundation.  It has rectangular profile only.

Hey @elias_munoz_neyra

 

There are various methods to model those foundations; two of which I included in the following screencast.

  1. The first is by using a combination of "Wall: Structural Wall" Foundation type and "Structural Foundation: Wall" topped with a structural slab...then when done you can join them...the finished model with reinforcement was done using this method
  2. The second method is using "Component: Model In-Place"; I used Generic Category with "enable host rebar" checked then used sweep tool to sketch the profile and swept it along the slab (added Material Finish parameter)

Thank you for your answer, it helped me with the main foundations. I also found several errors I couldn't see in the AutoCAD archive I was given at university.

 

Also, thank you for your video and time in this endeavour, it illustrated many things.

 

Thank you very very much.
