Edge aligned single footing

Edge aligned single footing is the case that one of the column edges coincides with one of the edges of the footing and it centers the related edge of the single footing. The Edge Aligned Single Footing command has been developed for drawing edge aligned footings easily without needing to enter single footing settings to set deltas. To make edge aligned single footing drawing:

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Click Draw/Entities/Footings/Single Footing.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Click the Edge Aligned 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 You can rotate the footing around the column by pressing S from the keyboard. (This has no meaning in centered footings.)

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.
