REVIT Footing Corners Will Not Mitre or Join

If you have ever come across this REVIT problem it can be very frustrating.

You cannot get the footing corners to mitre or join properly !

This problem is caused when the footing Type Property "Structural Usage" is set to "Retaining" instead of "Bearing".

Change it to "Bearing" and problem solved.

All REVIT 2012 Kitchen Families

Here is an image of all the Kitchen related Families that REVIT Architecture 2012 includes out of the box.

These families are located in the Casework and Specialty Equipment folders (categories) of the REVIT Library.

If you want a variation of one of these families just click on it, then click Edit Type on the Properties Palette. Then Duplicate it and name it. Then change some of the Type Parameters and Bob's your Uncle !.

The counter top families have grips and you can stretch them around but only in a Plan view.

Do some investigation by checking out the different Type Parameters on each individual Family.

Here is a link to the REVIT 2012 Kitchen Families Project that you see above.
