    How do you do offset footings. Example: 6" fdn. wall, 12" thk. ftg., 6" one side of fdn. wall, 1' other side of fdn. wall, w/ total ftg. of 2'.
    Thanks.

    I would have to do this in two pieces so to speak. One, a foundation with footing and also use a beam symbol (used as footing) I made for my library.

    Thanks for the reply. How does the beam work in materials. Do you have it set up to give the amount of concrete? And does the beam ad to the foundation, over it, or attatched to it?

    Wouldn't the slap tool be better for this?

    Just did this.Needs to be set and adjusted to what you want.Unchecked foundation and used concrete fill for the slap.
