Footing Geometry form

Used to input the geometrical parameter used for design.

Opens when Strap Footing Job > Design Parameters > Footing Geometry is selected in the Main Navigator pane.

SettingDescription
Identical Footings Set this option if both of the isolated footings have the same dimensions.
Length Type the length (direction parallel to the X axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit.
Width Type the width (direction parallel to the Z axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit.
Height Type the thickness (direction parallel to the Y axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit.
Maximum Length (Calculate only) Type the maximum length (direction parallel to the X axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit.
Maximum Width (Calculate only) Type the maximum width (direction parallel to the Z axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit.
Minimum Height Type the thickness (direction parallel to the Z axis; or out-of plan dimension) to be used for the footing, along with unit. For a Calculate Dimension design, this is used as the minimum dimension to check.
Offset X / Z Type the offset dimension parallel to the X and Z axis between the center of the footing and the pedestal.
