Foundation good placement practice

[pushenergy]

Hello i have created a wall type with full makeup including plaster board and dot and dab layers which work great for my above ground plan views. When i come to place my wall foundations it positions these central to the total wall construction. Obviously i don't want the foundation to take account of the plaster board thickness. To get round this i could create a stacked wall with sub ground level wall which doesn't include the plaster board.I could also not use the foundation tool and just use a simple line offset. I don't have full revit so i cant use the create parts function and drag the plaster board  layer up above the ground. I am just interested to hear people approaches to foundation plans?thanks

"Extend to Core"?"Offset"? Both these are available to you when you place a foundation using Pick Walls method (on Options Bar).

Be nice if the center of a Wall Foundation aligns with the center of core but alas... Measure the distance between the wall center to the core center and transfer that value to the foundation eccentricity field.

...okay, so I completely misread it. So shoot me.

When using eccentricity, footing corners mess up. I tried to avoid this by using stacked walls. But that's just unpractical... Now, I just clean those corners by cutting with void. If I lock void extrusion profile to footing edges, "cleaned" footing corner will follow walls that are being moved.

No needs to cut the exceed with voids.  Use Align tool.

I'm trying. It doesn't work or I'm doing it wrong. However I try to align, the result is the same. Its just how it treats the join between two footings...

Ok , I figure it out. I have to extend the footing and then align after that. Thanks!

I cant still align the foundation edges after extension. Please help step by step or suggest why I cannot align. Thanks for help
