    Default Wall Foundations, Retaining Wall Footings - Toe and Heel

    Summary: Toe and Heel parameters need reversed

    Description: In the System Family: Wall Foundation, when setting up a retaining wall footing, the toe and heel parameters need reversed out of the box. The 'toe' should be to the outside of the exterior side of the wall (low grade) and the 'heel' should be to the inside of the inside face of the wall (higher grade). It is currently reversed in the program. For most conditions of a building, this would be the case as the low side of grade would be exterior and the high side would be interior. Also for most conditions including site retaining walls, the low side is where you would have the exterior face of your wall set.

    To further explain, structurally when designing a wall, the toe is shorter pressing down (lower grade side) and the heel is longer to resist lifting up (higher grade side to resist lift).

    What would be a better Idea is to flip the toe/heel independently of flipping a wall, but by flipping a wall it will flip the foundation.
