Does anyone know how to size piers and draw them in A10 ?

[Richard Morrison]

You could just use columns (either rectangular or round) to draw them. People here may know HOW to size them, but unlikely you're going to specific engineering advice. (And it would be worth what you paid for it; or probably less.) You'll need a soils report and to have an engineer design the piers based on the report.

jeropmewms,

which way did you mean the question? Did you mean something like this attachment? Pier pads for post&beam construction?

How to edit the piers dimensions in ArchiCAD for how to determine what size they should be?

I make them as slabs because of how i want them to show up in my material lists.
