Hey i have built a house in revit and started the project by making the walls. I am trying to apply a footing onto my exterior walls and some of my walls run along the exterior of my house and then into the interior of my house. when i go to apply the footing it  aplies it ot the whole wall. even if i drag the wall so that it is only exterior, apply the footing, and then add a new wall inside the house that is connected to the exterior portion of the wall the footing automaticly extends along the interior portion of my wall. How can i keep the footing off of the interior portion of my wall???

-Thanks

If the walls are the same this would happen.  Try this - make the wall the full length then split it.  Now the footing will only be on one part.

Looking at your drawing, it appears that these are wood walls. I doubt that you want to connect your walls directly to the buildings footings. Usually there is a floor first. If a raised floor, then use a concrete stem wall around the perimeter, with perhaps some crossing stem walls, then add footing to these concrete stem walls. If slab add slab edge or stem wall below slab, with footing or a thickend wall under slab.
