Add a Footing to an Edge

Architectural

Add a footing to selected edges of an area.

  1. Select the structure.
  2. Select Plane Structure | Complementary Parts | Footing Footing to Edge.
  3. When you add a footing for the first time, select a cross section by clicking a desired option in a drawing window.

    After this, the last selected cross section is the default. The same cross section is the default when you add footings to all edges of an area.

  4. If necessary, change the cross section by using the function Select cross section in the auxiliary menu.
  5. If necessary, change the cross section dimensions by using the function Edit cross section parameters in the auxiliary menu.

    You can view the labels of the dimensions by using the function Parameters on or off.

  6. Click the edges one by one.

    If a clicked edge already has a footing, you will be prompted: Rib already exists, add this still?

    • Yes - A new footing is added, the old one is not removed.
    • No - A new footing is not added, the old one is not removed.
Note:
  • When selecting the cross section, you can close the drawing window without making a selection by selecting the Confirm function.

  • The footing or rib is added below or above the base layer of the structure, depending on the selected cross section. The base layer is the layer with the number 0.
