Name	Description
Constraints
Eccentricity	Bearing walls only. Specifies the offset from the wall center line to the bearing foundation center line.
Structural
Enable Analytical Model	Displays the analytical model and includes it in analytical calculations. Selected by default. See Disabling the Analytical Model.
Rebar Cover - Top Face	Specifies the rebar cover distance from the wall top face.
Rebar Cover - Bottom Face	Specifies the rebar cover distance from the wall bottom face.
Rebar Cover - Other Faces	Specifies the rebar cover distance from the wall to adjacent element faces.
Estimated Reinforcement Volume	Specifies the estimated reinforcement volume of the selected element. This is a read-only parameter that only displays when rebar has been placed.
Dimensions
Length	Indicates the overall length. This is a read-only parameter.
Width	Indicates the overall width. This is a read-only parameter.
Volume	Indicates the volume of the foundation. This is a read-only parameter.
Elevation at Bottom	Indicates the elevation used for tagging the Bottom of Foundation. This parameter is affected by the family parameter Cap (see Family Category and Parameters). The following image shows the difference between the Cap parameter enabled (in red) and disabled (in green). The Elevation at Bottom measurement is taken from this setting. This is a read-only parameter.
Identity Data
Comments	A field for placing general comments about the foundation type.
Mark	A label created for the foundation. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you when the number value is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages.
Phasing
Phase Created	Indicates in which phase the foundation component was created. See Project Phasing.
Phase Demolished	Indicates in which phase the foundation component was demolished. See Project Phasing.
Identity Data (Analytical Wall Foundations)
Foundation Number	An identifier created for the analytical foundation. This value should be unique across Analytical Isolated Foundations and Analytical Wall Foundations in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages.
Comments	User comments.
Structural Analysis
Analyze As	Indicates the property type for structural analysis. Select either Foundation or Not for Analysis.
Analytical Properties
Family Type	The family type of the element.
Physical Material Asset	The name of a physical asset assigned to the material of the wall foundation (read-only).
