The present disclosure relates to a system and method for modeling the placement of components in an electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include receiving, at one or more computing devices, an electronic circuit design at a graphical user interface (GUI) and a selection for a component to be placed within the electronic circuit design. Embodiments may also include detecting a change in the position of the selected component to determine when the selected component is moved into a zone of the electronic circuit design. Embodiments may further include determining a component footprint and one or more padstacks associated with the component footprint for the selected component based upon the position of the selected component within the zone of the electronic circuit design. Embodiments may also include rendering the component footprint and the padstacks on the selected component based upon, at least in part, the position of the selected component.
