Creating Grid-Anchored Columns
Use this procedure to create a column that is anchored to a grid and has the
property settings specified in the structural column tool that you select. The
style specified in the tool provides the column shape. When you specify an
insert point on the grid, 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 of the tool. To specify your own settings when
you anchor a column to a grid, see Creating Grid-Anchored Columns with
User-Specified Settings on page 2553.
To create a column grid with pre-anchored columns, see Creating a Column
Grid.
