How do I create a plinth in Revit?

1. Click Structure tab Foundation panel (Slab)
2. Specify a foundation slab type from the Type Selector.

Where should wall footing be placed?

Wall footing runs along the direction of the wall. The size of the footing and the thickness of the foundation wall are specified on the basis of the type of soil at the site. The width of the wall footing is generally 2-3 times the width of the wall.

What are the different types of footing?

Types of footings:

• Wall footing/strip footing.
• Spread Footings.
• Isolated footings.
• Stepped footings.
• Combined footings.
• Sloped footings.

• Strapped footings.

What is raft footing?

A raft foundation, also called a mat foundation, is essentially a continuous slab resting on the soil that extends over the entire footprint of the building, thereby supporting the building and transferring its weight to the ground. Stress is simply weight divided by area.

What is difference between footing and foundation?
