Drafting a Foundation Detail in Revit

This tutorial shows you how to draft a foundation wall detail for Type V, raised-floor construction. This is a generic tutorial, please consult local building code for specifics.

I am so gratefull! I can never find a tutorial with just drawing a detail from scratch without modeling first. You're a life saver.

Fantastic video to get me up and running when drawing custom details especially when a section may not show much in the way of line work. Thank you!

[@TheArchiteacher]

Thank you for the feedback. Any other tutorials you'd like to see?

[@Ninjump]

@@TheArchiteacher I was going to say, small electrical plan but I see you have one video on that already 🙏🏾 how about interior plumbing?

[@hazimalwaali9507]

Very nice plz do more such videos.

best detail tutorial in the internet............no joke

[@mahlince]

Thank you so much. I wonder if there is a way to add in this drafting some rebar detail too. I tried but I couldn't. Any suggestion? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your sharing.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Hello, the tutorial was great; thank you. This detail is drawn in a separate file from the main structure, as far as I understood. How can we use this detail in callout?

[@SasiKumar-tk3pl]

Thanks dude , really helpfull to my fucking assignment

[@ingabbateantonio]

this is pure madness

[@grtinfulleffect8349]

Please explain.

@@grtinfulleffect8349 this is absolutely not the way to work with Revit, and the meaning of detailing in Revit had nothing to do with what you did. You are working in Revit as you would in AutoCAD. Now, I don't mean to upset you, but if you were a good friend of mine and I had no time to train you, I would suggest you to download a good paid Revit course and start from there. No offense mate, but this is what I get from this video about your skills. You can contact me privately and we can talk further, I really do not want to start a beef but just being helpful

[@grtinfulleffect8349]

@@ingabbateantonio No problem. I already know Revit. I was just wanting to know your thoughts. Thanks.

If you use filled regions in my team, you would be fired 🤣. This is Revit but you are drawing as if it was Autocad. Would suggest using more 3D, view cut profile, etc.

[@yesimakuntsh4507]

Depends what the objective is. Most structural drafting in companies I've been employed with is undertaken with lines and filled regions. Structural models are different, but for simple construction details like this, lines and regions does the job and is infinitely faster.

[@lapx1]

The objective is to get it built the most cost effective way possible with quality no matter how its drawn. If it communicates the intent and is effective then great.

[@marie-christine5200]

@@lapx1 I disagree. If you "fake" your detail you may be missing things that may have been moved and ended up with bad coordinated drawings. There is nothing wrong with drafting, but there is Autocad for that. Hiding, filled regions is the beginning of a disaster. It may be more expensive to draw it right at first but it is way more cheaper than finding mistake on site when it is too late...

[@davepurcell1318]

This was painful to watch coming from autocad, I can knockout this detail out in 3 minutes. Revit seems clunky for detailing
