I have a project coming up that the foundation is brick piers as shown in the attached images. What is the best way to draw these the way they are shown here? I have looked at the foundation tool with piers but it centers them under the edge of the wall and it doesn't appear they can be moved. Anyway, I will probably be doing a few like this so I want to get it figured out. 

 

Thank in advance for tips on this.

The actual wall type doesn't really matter when the foundation height is 0", but a 16" wide foundation wall gets the piers aligned correctly.

I 'painted' the piers instead of changing the default material for the foundation/slab.

The pier spacing I used is simply an example. Everything here is automatic.
