Answer:
If you have selected neither the direct calculation of the ground failure design according to EN 1997‑1 Annex D nor the design of the safety against sliding, it is not necessary to enter a soil profile. You can enter the earth covering as a load later.
Question
Why is the "Earth covering (permanent)" option grayed out in Window 1.4 of the FOUNDATION Pro add‑on module?

Foundations including dimensions can be saved as a template in a user-defined database.
In RFEM 5 as well as RSTAB 8 in RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, you can save the foundation dimensions for all five foundation types as foundation templates in a user-defined database and use them later in other models.
In RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, the foundation design requires the definition of the corresponding loading (load cases, load combinations, or result combinations) for different design situations (STR, GEO, UPL, or EQU).
In RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro, reinforcement drawings are displayed after designing the foundation, where you can record all necessary structures of the reinforcement steel.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
Why are new COs generated during the calculation in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
Does the program check the lap length of the vertical stirrups of a block foundation with smooth bucket sides?
How is the static depth d calculated in the bending design of block foundations (calculation as equivalent beams)?
Is it also possible to perform crack width analysis according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Section 7.3, in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
How can I rotate a single foundation in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
Where on the foundation is the load applied in the design with FOUNDATION Pro?
