Concrete Column Base connection

[bartolome1819]

Hello, about this connection, when I run a steel structure and I select one joint (fixed) the program ask me if I want to create a footing (single foundation) for that element (a steel column IPE), after I accept the program calculate the foundation, I open the module "steel conection verification" in order to create a concrete column base. I see on my structure the steel column and the foundation But, the button "concrete column base" is disable. My question is, how I can get this button enable to make this connection (steel column -> concrete column base to one foundation). Thank You.

Thank you for your time, I know that with this button I can design a base, but my question is, why if I have concrete and a steel column, the button "concrete column base" is disabled.??

Thank you

This connection type is available for French CM66  code only but I assume this is not the type you want to use for your frame

Last question 1) for this topic, on the same picture I posted here, how can I see the reinforcement bars on the foundation in the main window?
I'm using 3d frame design, I don't know if I need to open a building design project to see the reinforcement bars.
2) In others autocad programs, I can select one element (a beam, a column, a line) and hide the rest of the structure (ideal for edit) and I can draw references lines, references planes and points. The question is, How can I select one element and hide all the rest of the structure? And, How can I draw reference lines points and planes?

Thank you!!

You can't. You can see them only in the RC Design modules.

2)  The question is, How can I select one element and hide all the rest of the structure?

You select the part of the model you want top see and open it in a new window

And, How can I draw reference lines

points

and planes?
