Double Footings

[pwmsmith]

Why do I get two footings when I have a wall made of two materials at different elevations ( unlocking of of the elements in section and changing the height).

Attached is an example. Do I need to make these wall separate to work?

Seems like you are not the only one running into this problem (small comfort, I know)

I think the separate walls are probably the best solution for now.

Have there been any solutions to this yet? My structural engineer is just now getting into Revit and is running into this in Revit Structure 2010.

Curiously, I placed a wall bearing footing in Revit Arch. 2010 and it placed only 1 footing at the bottom of my wall's extended layers only, which is the expected behavior. Odd that it would work correctly in Architecture but not Structure.

My guess is that's because they are made from 2 different material. Check the concrete strength in the material setting. For some reason Adesk in the vast wisdom gave you the option to use all different types of concrete materials. If you have to use 2 different strengths of conc, Revit knows that they come from a different truck, hence a cold joint. Same reason you can't join them. So depending on which wall you used, (and they are different) you have a different type of concrete in the material. It wants to use the same material as you used for the wall. Again, Revit thinks it's smarter than the guy pouring the wall. Make them all the same in the template and you won't run into this problem again.

What are you referring to that's made of two different materials? How does the material have any impact on whether only 1 footing or 2 footings are placed on a wall with a base extension distance (and unlocked layers) defined?

Opps,
I didn't realize he was trying to do something more like a stacked wall. I'd bet if you split them and make the covering it's own wall, you're problem goes away. Also the usage should be set to bearing in order to show up in both plans.
This is just.

Yes, making the lower extension a separate wall is one solution, but it would be nice if it worked correctly, like it does in Revit Arch. 1 wall with extension, 1 footing.

Is there a fix for this problem yet?

Noticed this for the first time yesterday. Just started using stacked wall for our foundation walls and ended up with duplicate footings when splitting walls. Does not place duplicate footings when first placing the footing on the wall only when splitting the walls. Running Structure 2017.2.
