Footing (Rough)

ARC-FOOTING

Rough dimensions according to structural engineering for footings in design development and permitting stages.

Description

Coarsely dimensioned footing geometry according to the structural concept.
Used for coordination between architecture and structural engineering, not for execution planning.

Modelling guidelines

Model as a simplified volume; dimensions according to the structural sketch.
Split at component boundaries.
Do not model reinforcement, foundation details, or layer build-ups.
Early: concept via sketches as structural sketch in the architecture model; verify exclusion zones from the structural engineer.
Later: align the same components with Reference in the structural model as well.
Use an IfcMaterial that corresponds to the actual material class.
