in my humble opinion, you should focus on tools or enhancements that are fundamentals for architectural design only,

one tool i forgot and it is part of architectural design fundamental, to me at least is 'footings' of course, and this tool seems forgotten

I can see a use for a simple add on that could place footings at the bottoms of selected foundation walls, but I'm noot sure it would really save me that much time.

Hmm. Since ArchiTerra already does walls following terrain, maybe this is something Fabrizio would be interested in adding there...
