I am curious as to how others are modeling and documenting foundations. In a residential project I typically like to show my floor framing with my foundation plan (perimeter foundation). In this case the footing is usually represented by a dashed line and the stem walls are shown with solid lines. In the case of a slab on grade the inside edge of the footing is shown dashed, outside edge of slab/footing is solid. In both of these cases I want the linework to be solid in section/elevation. AFAIK if I use the wall tool to model the footings I cannot have them shown with different line types in section and floor plan. The slab tool allows this but seems much less friendly for this type of modeling task. I got good results using the offset tool/magic wand for edge footings by tracing the perimeter of a slab, but this wasn't helpful for footings on the interior of the slab. Every building has a foundation so I'm sure this has been worked out. I've only been using AC part time for about 2 months so I'm still developing my methods and techniques. Your help has been extremely appreciated. I also don't want fills in plan but I do in section, I know, I'm picky.
