Column Positions table

A spreadsheet table used to input column positions in Cartesian (XYZ) coordinates.

Opens when Foundation Plan > Column Positions is selected in the Main Navigator pane.

After column coordinates are entered, the columns along with their respective node numbers are displayed in the Graphics Window. The tab key or arrow keys may be used to move from one cell to the next in the table. The coordinates in the table can be modified like any spreadsheet. In order to delete a column, select the column in the Graphics Window by clicking on it. Then either press the delete key on your keyboard or select Edit > Delete.

Note: A column will not be shown in the Graphics Window until you press <Enter> or click outside of the row you are currently in.
Note: Initially, all unassigned footings will appear as spread footings of uniform size in the Main View window. The graphics will update once the footing type has been assigned.
