I'll keep this short and sweet because it's a pretty simple question. I feel like in 90% of rides I work on, there's at least one spot where a bunch of supports are really close together (sometimes many more than one spot if it's a really compact track).
I've been trying to find pictures but not having a ton of luck; do real-life supports ever share footers? Are there certain circumstances in which this is more common? Do certain manufacturers do it more often than others?
I'm just asking because there are times at which it seems to make sense for two supports to share the same footer, but it's not that hard to do it some other way if it's gonna blow the realism.
