Update Strip Footing Drawing
Open BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Update Strip Footing Drawing from a Section/Detail view or sheet. The current view determines host discovery and update scope.
Workflow
- Save As before changing manually edited drawings. Open a horizontal-looking section; an invalid view direction is rejected.
- The longitudinal view must contain exactly one visible strip footing. Details also require a suitable host; check views containing multiple elements.
- On a sheet select supported viewports and Finish, distinguishing longitudinal and cross-section view families.
- Edit the enabled longitudinal or cross-section group. Shared inputs are documented in the Drawing guide.
- Run and compare view/viewport counts, tagged hosts, dimensions, elevations and manual edits. Preservation of all manual annotations has not been demonstrated.

Drawing control reference. A before/after runtime update is still missing; this guide describes source-confirmed scope and conditions.
