What do you mean by "manual?"
I've design several mat foundation for telecommunication tower, 3 legs, 4 legs etc.
Assuming that the centroid of all tower legs coincide with the centroid of the mat foundation, it will be economical to provide relief hole in the middle. This will avoid excessive stress at middle portion.
However, you need a sfotware to anylyze this situation.
