Post Footings not Showing on Foundation Plan

[KTBuilder]

I think I searched existing topics pretty well, but only found where it was suggested to turn on "Post, Footings" in the Display Options.  I already had that checked.

 

I've got three patio roof posts each with a square concrete pad footing.  They show everywhere except on the Foundation Plan.  After I took these screen shots, I carried one of the posts down to the top of the buried footing, even though that is not how I would build it, but that won't make it display either.

 

Am I missing something overly simple??

Can I make suggestion.

Since that is just holding up a pretty much flat roof probably an Aluminum cover type there is not much loading on those posts that they require a full footing.

 

You could get by with just the normal 4" slab and aluminum posts bolting to it.

 

If this is supporting the house hip roof then I would change the row of posts into a RAILING WALL with Posts to BEAM and railing set to OPEN so it does not have railings.

Choose your posts design, size and spacing. this then creates an outdoor room you can change to PATIO and lower as required and have house roof cover it.

It will treat this railing wall as part of the house and then creates proper foundation, and you can have a footer under the entire length if you choose.

That sounds like an interesting way to do it.  I haven't messed around much with railings other than putting them around an outside wood deck.

 

The three posts are supporting a low slope modified bit roof with dimensional lumber rafters, and T&G ceiling.  I think it probably needs the pad footings.  This is also to be installed at an existing pool deck, so the pool deck will have to be cut out, excavated, and pour footings/piers.

 

I can always draw the three pad footings on the foundation plan after it is sent to Layout.  Just curious why it wouldn't place them automatically.

Not sure but probably one where you have to play with things to find the culprit.

 

My guess is they are made on the first floor level not the foundation or level 0..

And I am not sire if that can be fixed...
