Embed void in footing to cut wall geometry?

I have a project where I modeled an exterior walls (wall type properties vary) on a curb on a trench footing as a stacked wall. This solved some difficulties encountered early in the modelling process. Now that I’ve added columns and isolated footings, I’m looking for ideas on how to make the isolated footing geometry cut the trench footing (wall geometry). I’m working with several ideas, but so far none have proven to be ideal.
I could use the wall opening tool which works OK on a straight-away, but many of the columns occur at complex intersections varying types of stacked walls.
I could use some kind of wall based generic void family. I haven't done this before and have not had success in my for this application.
Is it possible to embed a void family into the isolated footing family and have the void cut the wall (trench footing) on placement? If so, please suggest how to create said family. Thanks!
