Wide footing section under foundation wall
Here is how you can make a wide footing section under a foundation wall.
Let's say the engineer wants a 3' section of the 20" strip footing widened to 30" for special loading. To do this you need to break the foundation wall into a 3' segment and widen the footing. You will find that the segment will want to merge back with the other walls, so you can do one of the following to keep it separate:
Designate the roof over that wall as gable
Move the wall segment to a new layer
Select 'retain wall framing' (probably the simplest way)
You can also edit the depth of this footing in section view.
