STAAD Foundation Incorrect Spacing

Hi,

I am designing isolated footings. However, the flexure rebars' spacing are not consistent with the calculation sheet and the drawing. How do I resolve this? What spacing value should I follow?

Are you saying that the value in the calculation sheet does not match the value shown in the drawing? If so, use the value shown in the calculation sheet.

The number of bars for the X and Z directions are going to be equal only if the footing dimensions as well as the bending moments are the same for the two directions.
