i tried to design continuous footing as in the tutorial ( http://www.robotoffice.com/!n/film_str/44/044_player_swf.htm?robot/044_robot_rc_cont_footings,800,59... but when i want to define T beam section i can't find inveted t beam as in the tutorial ??

Another question plz .. what is estimated load foundation ?? is this necessary to apply ? because the load is directly transfer from columns to footing ! is robot by defualt define estimaed load foundation as 100 kn/m

tha second question is when i select the footings and want to choose RC continuous footing from design menu ! there's no option for this .. i try to choose Provide reinforcement for rc elements but robot deal with it as beam not footing ?

what is estimated load foundation ??

The value needed to calculate soil elasticity with the method supported in the soil elasticity calculator.

is this necessary to apply ? 

Only when you want to use the soil elasticity calculator. If you know KZ value you can enter it directly in the corresponding field of the bar elastic soil definition dialog.

tha second question is when i select the footings and want to choose RC continuous footing from design menu ! there's no option for this .. i try to choose Provide reinforcement for rc elements but robot deal with it as beam not footing ?

Set the Structure Object as bar in the Inspector (see the picture I attached previously).
