Spot Footing Schedule

Spot Footing Schedules should be created early in the project to avoid conflicts with tagging. Spot (isolated) footing properties such as size, mark, and reinforcing should be edited by "Type", as opposed to instance, to simplify scheduling.

1. "View"->"New"->"Schedule/Quantities"


2. Category will be "Structural Foundations"


3. From "Available Fields" add "Type Mark", "Type", "Type Comments"


4. Change "Type Comments" field title to "Reinforcing", change "Type" to "Size", change "Type Mark" to "Mark".


5. Right click on the schedule, and select "View Properties"


6. Select "Sorting/Grouping", deselect "Itemize every instance", and Sort By "Type"
   

Update: I created a tag family named "Structural Foundation Tag - Type Mark.rfa" Load this into your project to skip the next three steps.

1. On the Foundation View, from the Drafting bar, use "Tag" -> "By Category" to tag a spot footing, select the keynote tag, and "Edit Family".


2. Delete the box and draw a polygon (or oval) around the text using "Lines"


3. Load the edited family back into the project.

Each spot footing Type needs to have its own Mark designation. Do this in the footing "Type Properties" under "Type Mark" (not under "Element Properties).

Each spot footing Type needs to have its own reinforcing callout. Do this in the "Type Properties" under "Type Comments".

Once the schedule is created, new footing marks, reinforcing and descriptions can be modified in the schedule directly.

1. Format the schedule for appearance, and place on a sheet.
