New Foundation Option in Shapemaker: Piers on the Circular Pad!

Until now, users could select square pad foundations - with or without piers, or with piers anchored in rock. With our latest update, there is now an additional option: a circular slab with piers.

You’ll find this new option in the Foundation tab, under the drop-down list of available foundation types.

The update ensures that overturning, sliding, and soil bearing resistance are accurately checked for circular slabs, and that the 3D model represents the foundation correctly.

We’ve also improved the reporting experience. In the foundation chapter of your reports, all input values entered in the UI are now displayed, providing clearer and more consistent documentation of your foundation design choices.
