View Full Version : Joining Material in Stepped Footing

In my attempts to learn how to create families, I made a couple of stepped footing families. In one of them, I created separate families for the vertical and horizontal and nested them into the final stepped footing family. In the second family, I simply created two sweeps. Then, I arrayed the steps based upon the required height of the stepped footing.

All the user has to do is specify the "Total Ht of Steps" and the "Footing Depth."

Everything works just the way I envision, except...when they're used, the various step pieces don't want to join geometry.

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I'm using arrays, but don't know for sure. Any suggestions? TIA
