Calculate foundation volume Options 

Julien.Morilhat Participant 08-02-2021 03:33 PM


I need to write correctly in the Revit schedule three formulas to calculate the volume of three
types of isolated footing.

- The pyramidal isolated footing (sloped footing).

- The (drilled belled pier)

- The false elipse base isolated footing

Someone nice from Autodesk could write me these three formulas correctly for Revit schedule,
please. You will find attached the drawings and the formulas of these three types of isolated
footing.

Thanks

Why do you need formulas? If you model them properly then your material take-off
schedule should be showing the correct material volumes.

Hi @Julien.Morilhat

@ToanDN is right.
Maybe we are missing something. Curious to know why you'd need the formulas
though.

I can understand the need to work this out separately with formulas i.e. to give
confidence that the volumes you get using material volumes aren't being affected by
join order modelling errors etc. Nice to increase your confidence of an important
result by working it out more than one way.

Personally I'd put the formulas in the family rather than the schedule. If you already
have those families defined with those parameters then just use the formulas you
have to set a common volume shared parameter in each such family (which can then
be scheduled in the project).

What aspect regarding parameter formulas are you struggling with specifically?

Sorry, I had made a big and stupide mistake with my families, there were a duplicate
geometry in the same place in two of my isolated foundation families. Now I
understand better why in my schedule the volume was double. After checking all of
geometries of all of my families, I calculated by hand to check by applying the three
formulas of the three types of foundations and now all the volumes are correct.
Thank guys for your advice.
