View Full Version : Foundation thickness appears fixed at 304.8

I have added retaining wall foundations to a project and have set the size at:

Toe length: 900
Heel length: 100
Foundation thickness: 600
Default end extension length: 100

but Revit 2009:20080602_1900 appears to only show the foundations at 304.8 deep.

Am I missing something or is Revit stuck?

I have done a lsearch of the forum but am limited by a stuffed internet connection that only attains 2kb/s.

Thanks in anticipation.....

I am confused because none of the information you listed above has to do with what the bottom of footing elevation would be. I often cut a section through the retaining wall and place a spot elevation at the bottom of footing and then when you click on the footing you can adjust it via the spot elevation tag. The reason I do this approach is that I have my units set to feet and inches so when I adjust the wall via the properties it is in a distance relative to the level in which it is placed, but I have the spot elevation set to absolute units in decimal feet which is how I want to adjust the footing depth. I hope this helps.

I have also encountered this.
If you change the footings properties before its modelled up - it just defaults to the 304.....
Model it up, select it & then change its sizing.

Thanks Dwane, I remembered that this went back a bit.
