Revit Tutorial - How to do the Structural Detailing of a Concrete Footing and Retaining Wall 

The footing on Retaining walls need steel on the bottom side acting like a two way slab

Yes there are ways to do it that way too. However for country’s where the steel reinforcement is scheduled by others it is rarer to see consulting engineers doing 3D modelling as it does take quite a bit more time.

@@TheArtofTechnicalDrawing thank you for your response. So if that’s the case, for instance what happens when the section changes, example, the section which you’ve taken, the wall was changed to 200 concrete wall. What happens then? Does the lines stay the way they are or does it change dynamically? This is also in cases where the slab sections have changed and the reo lines stay the same or not?

@@vigneshmenon2796 Both 2D and 3D workflows will require touch ups on the sections. Big changes in 3D often break the sections for 3D modelled elements including reinforcement. Steel framing is probably worse. 2D elements can also work dynamically. So it is just something you have to balance. What are the risk/rewards. We are all businesses first so we have to balance what workflow will be acceptable. Nobody wants to hear, "I can't get the drawings out, we have a technical issue" and the other side saying "it is just a couple of lines, why does it take hours to do it!"

@@TheArtofTechnicalDrawing thank you so much mate! You’ve no idea how much you’ve helped me. Your videos are really good and this is something which I believe I can fairly easily incorporate into my own workflow.

A bunch of them are on families.draftsperson.net

DINCEL is being used more and more for retaining walls. So it could be possible. However I personally hate how the plastic form looks in a couple of years. It just looks like a DOGS BREAKFAST.

@@TheArtofTechnicalDrawing .... it slows down the computer too so you end drawing them in 2D....

What is a BBS? Is it some sort of bill of materials? If so it would be done manually by a reinforcement scheduler.

A Bar bending schedule: if u dont place your rebars in 3D, it won't be scheduled anywhere in your project

That is a question which relates to what is the industry standard in your region. For some consulting engineers only do the design. Schedules and shop drawings are done by others in the next phase of the project.

@@TheArtofTechnicalDrawing where do you usually get information for creating the details ?? I mean the building construction part

@@Husztiali6999 Every country detail differently he is Australian I guess...

I could do a tutorial on some basic ways to do this. Can you flush out a bit more what you are trying to do?

@@allanyz i have the answer, if we use reference lines, we can detailing holes, bolts, plates and steel profiles, we can send to print thats dettails in PDF and it does not appear reference lines on sheets or impressions, in that way we can detail any shape of plate, etc.
