AirstreamJake Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello, I am designing a home that has a stem wall foundation around the perimeter. I would like to add additional concrete pads/piers that are interior to this perimeter stem wall and which will provide additional support for the beams supporting the house floor. Can anyone explain how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In any Architectural software application all objects are "virtual", it is you who "says" what they represent, so piers and pads are merely cylindrical or square objects that you merely say are piers and or pads. These can be pads and piers form the Build Menu or just shapes you custom shape and place to represent piers and or pads. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
