Foundation slab ( or anything) with attach base feature!?

during the 3d construction of the concrete structure of the building. There are many components of different shapes and level offset. As shown in the attached picture:
-basic wall: to create long objects
-Structure foundation-Slab: to create custom shaped objects
Problem:
-Basic wall: I have to create a lot of types (with different thickness) to fit each position. its enable attach base
-Structure foundation- Slab: Must determine its depth in advance. there is no attach base feature like wall. So. takes more operations to calculate the thickness and create a new type.
- Target:
Is there any family that can solve this problem (custom shape, can attach base)or other  solution...
thank for anyhelp

Manytimes foundation slab is located at the intersection between 2 slabs of different heights (it needs to be at the predefined offset level and on the underlying object). so Attach base useful.

I don't know what you are asking, but that screenshot is impossible to decipher without any context, notes, keys or legends.

Hi!

I need to create a 3d model of cast-in-place concrete blocks (also called -foundation wall). because it has many shapes and lies on many surfaces of different heights. As shown in the picture are the Hatch pattern colors. it has the legends of level. hope you understand. thanks

Model it thicker and Join Geometry with other slabs, switch join order if necessary.

Barely understandable.  Sorry.  Let's think this through. Foundation walls are meant to support something - typically a bearing wall. Do you have any in your project?

Most foundation shapes are long to load other ALC panels  and shapes with large surfaces to support machine loads.

That's how I do it too. But actually it's not the "clearly" way. I'm trying to find other better options. Thanks

Create a structural column family with instance width and length parameters, place, stretch width and length, attach top and bottom.
