In the wall choices menu, there are options to choose foundation walls. I'm in the UK and use metric. I have opted to choose the Basic Wall: FND: 750 Footing

I understand the footing width is 750 mm but what is the depth as I see no detail for this or where to insert your own custom depth.

Am I missing something here?

Thank you

Kirk

You can either enter in an unconnected height or you can constrain the height to levels, i.e. T.O. Footing and B.O. Footing (see attached image). But the best way to do wall footings is to go to the Modelling Menu, Sructural, Foundation, wall. You can then just pick walls in the plan view and a continuous footing will be a attached to the bottom of the wall. You can edit the toe length, toe width and foundation thickness in the Type Properties dialogue box.
