Since support columns in your basement bear loads at a concentrated point, the load should be transferred to a proper footing.
Using the Mono Footings Attached to Columns tool you can insert a single pad footing beneath a selected column. All you have to do is select the column.
To insert a footing under a column:
Select Insert > Footings > Mono Footings Attached to Columns, or click the Footings button on the Building toolbar and select Mono Footings Attached to Columns.
In the catalog panel, select the footing you want to insert. Typically you would choose one that is wider than the column you are attaching it to.
Click on the column you want to attach the footing to. The footing is inserted automatically.
Right-click and select Finish.
