| How to insert Foundation SocketsTonyC 2015-02-24 17:25:17 Here's a new Technical Support issue that was put forward by one of our users QUESTION I need to insert foundation sockets in my structure. How do I proceed to modelling them? ANSWER: To model a Foundation socket beneath a Column or Pillar simply follows these few easy steps: - open the "3D Editor" view; - select the "Plinth" object; - from within the properties toolbox, define the plinth's characteristics (material, foundation soil, geometry, etc.) - now click on the column under which to insert the plinth; - now select the "Foundation Socket" object; - then define its dimensions in the properties toolbox; - now click on the plinth above which to insert the socket.

In this case, instead of using the foundation socket object, you'll need to use the "plinth on pile" object.
