If you select one column and the pile/shaft option to open the Footing: Isolated Pile/Shaft Cap Design screen, you begin by inputting the information for footing size. You can specify the footing size in one of two ways. First option is to select User Input and then specify length (X) and width (Z). Second option is to select the From Library and then choose one of the footings. Select the footing in the Description list and input the values in the text boxes. If the footing is symmetrically placed (concentric) under the column (which is the most common case) select concentric under column option. However, if the footing is not concentric under columns, select Eccentric under column option. In this case, specify the distance of edge of footing from column centerline.

Next, input the configuration for the pile/shaft. Note that this section is only available for pile footings. Select the shape of the pile/shaft from the Pile/Shaft Shape list, and input the values for the pile/shaft size and maximum pile capacity. Click Edit Pile to edit the pile locations.
