I am working on a fix for a garage that is sliding into a ravine. The engineer has designed a retaining wall at the end of the garage that has a offset footing that is 8'-6" wide with 1'-6" on the outside of the 12" thick conc. wall. Standard stuff. Softplan wants to have the footer extend past the end of the wall 7'. I want the footing to end 1'-6' past the end of the wall. Is there a work around?

What happens when you uncheck "cleanup" and adjust the footing?

I don't think we can control that.  I would recommend turning the footer off on the wall and using a slab to draw the footing.

Or use a solid cube. Unfortunately we do not have the control we need for such situations. But, you can also take care of it with a wall definition including the footing as part of the actual definition, but then it will only stay the exact length of the wall you draw. I often use a solid cube or polygon for such things. And, on occasion I use walls I set up as just footings, nothing else.

Make a new wall ? Your footing is nothing more than a really short, fat wall.

Define it to meet your specs. i.e. thickness, length, offset etc

It should stack correctly and will show up on softlist too!

I don't think you can explode a wall.

John attached shows 10" Concrete wall that was exploded once,

footing lines erased leaving the wall only. A cube drawn ( left blue

for illustration) to desired footing size and offset for 3D illlustration.

The cube in 2D was edited so lines match 2D footing line style.

  Set cube profile to one not used in the drawing and copy/paste

wall concrete to match for 3D, shown in 3D attached.

  JUST READ MARKS ABOVE, What Mark said.
