    Exclamation Adding a spread footing to corner of foundation wall

    How do you add a spread footing to a corner of a foundation wall. I have tried doing a body modifier and it does work but I'm still getting lines where the strip footing joins the spread footing. Can this be cleaned up?

    There is a lot things to look at:

    --Clean up Group
    --Cleanup Radii
    --Location of justification lines
    --Same materials on both wall styles
    --Adjoining walls need to have same elevation

    see attached DWG

    I have always used wall styles as my footings. This way they automatically clean up. At corners, simply do a merge with all the walls and it will work out nicely, no need for modifiers or anything like that.

    It all depends on what the corner looks like. Chris' wall method usually works. When I run into spots where I can't get them to work I end up using mass elements, why, becuase they always work.
