Creating a column
1 Open the tool palette that contains the structural column tool
you want to use, and select the tool.
TIP You may have to scroll to display the desired tool. After selecting
it, you can move or hide the Properties palette to expose more of the
drawing area.
NOTE Alternatively, you can click Home tab ➤ Build panel ➤ Column
Grid drop-down ➤ Column .
2 Specify the insert point for the column.
3 If the Properties palette value for Specify roll on screen is Yes,
move the cursor to roll the column around its extruded axis as
desired, and then click; or enter a value for the roll angle, and
press ENTER.
A positive value rolls the column counterclockwise around its
extruded axis when viewed from its end (top) to its start (bottom).
4 Specify an insert point for another column, or press ENTER to end
the command.
Creating a Freestanding Column with User-Specified Settings
Use this procedure to create a new freestanding column with property settings
that you specify. The style specified in the tool provides the column shape.
When you specify an insert point for the column, the shape is extruded in a
positive direction along the current UCS Z-axis to a height determined by the
Start offset, End offset, and Logical length properties you specify.
