Supported Element Projection
The Supported Element Projection item is only available for isolated footings. It opens a dialog box where users can define the supported element position on footing pad.
Supported element position
Supported element position: select the pedestal/column's location from the drop-down list: Rear Left, Rear Middle, Rear Right, Middle Left, Centered, Middle Right, Front Left, Front Middle, Front Right, or Custom.
The value fields allow the user to adjust the Left, Right, Front and Rear projections.
When changing the value for one of two projections that are on the same axis, the value of the second projection will be automatically adjusted with respect to the width or the length of the footing:
L + supported element’s width + M = footing’s width (along X axis)
P + supported element’s length + Q = footing’s length (along Y axis)
