Summary: default ftg, eccentricity and extension length, sub-category for structural foundations and ftg added by default.

Description: 1. Once a wall footing is placed, the eccentricity dimension can be adjusted, but it doesn’t actually move the footing. You must redraw the wall footing and
adjust this dimension before placing wall footing.
2. When selecting the wall footing and selecting the required size, the next time you use the wall footing tool , it resets to a default one. (Ex. You select and place a 24” footing. Next time you place a footing, it resets back to a 36” footing.)
3. With wall footings, we can extend the wall footing past the wall end by default and adjust beyond wall end as needed. We do not have the option to pull the
footing short of the wall end (negative dimension), This is needed in many instances, like when you have a new building next to an existing building. Yes, you can break the wall and not have a ftg on that one, but much easier to have one wall.
4. Sense wall footings are a system family, adding shared parameters to wall footings needs to happen by adding the shared parameters to the project vs just adding them to a family. So when adding SP’s to wall footings, it also adds those shared parameters to isolated footings, which is not typically wanted. Both are under the category of structural foundations. We have a category for analytical wall foundation and analytical isolated foundations, but not wall foundation or isolated foundations. It would be helpful if both of these could be added as a sub-category to structural foundations.
5. Almost every wall has a footing, so when placing a foundation wall, it would be great if we had an option to automatically add a footing to the wall.
