Creating Columns with User-Defined Profiles
If you need a custom shape for a column which does not exist in the tool
palettes or structural member catalog of your application, you can create a
column with a user-defined linework profile. You can use the following closed
and non-self intersecting linework objects as column profiles:
â– circles and rectangles
â– ellipses and splines
â– closed polylines
TIP You can insert a profile definition as a polyline into the drawing and use
it as the column profile. For more information, see Converting Profiles to
Polylines on page 2828.
