Centered single footing

Centered single footing is the case that the column is located at the center of the single footing. The Centered Single Footing command has been developed for drawing centered footings easily without needing to enter single footing settings to set deltas. To make centered single footing drawing:

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Click the Centered Single Footing icon from the appearing Single Footing toolbar.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Bring the mouse cursor on the column that the single footing will be located under and left-click.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif The virtual image of the footing will appear on the screen. At this stage you can change the dimensions (cm) of the single footing being drawn from the footing width and footing height boxes on the single footing toolbar.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif You can swap the footing dimensions by pressing space-bar from the keyboard. (This is meaningless in footings with the width and height equal to each other.)

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Left-click again after the footing gets in the position you want. If fast drawing mode is active, the single footing will be drawn. (You can open/close fast drawing mode by pressing Ctrl+H from the keyboard.) If fast drawing mode is inactive, the program will wait you to approve the ID for the single footing. You can change the footing ID using the keyboard. The footing will be generated as soon as you left-click.
