Thank you for your inputs here @Messer and @Jingfeng_Xiong , really valuable to understand your use cases here. Our engineers will ask follow up questions here if/when they have any. :pray:t5:

Thanks for your inputs guys and welcome to our Blueprint Community, this is very much appreciated! @Messer hopefully after we implement this feature you’ll replace the spreadsheet with our footing module! @Jingfeng_Xiong this is a smart workaround, but we want you to be able to use our AU footing …

Most fo our pad footings are eccentric to some degree, do to us wanting to keep the footings under the slab, so yes important.

Hi guys, has there been any movement towards producing a module to consider eccentric columns on pad footings yet? Would definitely love to see this released. I agree with jingfeng regarding what the module would be used for.

@JamesGleeson your timing is impeccable, I can confirm this is slated to be done in the next month.

Thanks Laurent, that is great to hear!

I agree, this would be nice to have. I currently use a spreadsheet to do this; Mainly for Bearing/Uplift capacity checks - but I’d prefer that the module include a steel check, too. These are generally located near the exterior of a building, where, due to factors beyond my control, I cannot exten…
