What am I doing wrong, besides volunteering to be the first one to do a job in revit. (I really like this program and I can see where it can cut my time in half for projects.)

As with autocad there are many different ways to get the job done.  I would like some help with building the foundation plan with concrete grade beams and pile caps.

It is a 8” concrete slab on grade with integral grade beams (2’ and 3&rsquo, and pile caps with top of caps 1’ below floor level. The slab is in, the concrete grade beams are in and can be integrated with the slab (and piles in the G.B.), and the pile caps with piles are in the project. You would think the engineer would be happy.

I need to thicken the grade beams with a 2:1 slope and thicken the slab under the pile cap (4’X9&rsquo. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct these problems for the whole building ??

Hi,

Are you using Revit Struc or Revit arch? Pls. see image. If this is what you need, do a host sweep-floor slab edge with your desired profile.
