Family

A column’s family is defined by its shape. Click the desired shape choosing from Square, Rectangular and Circular.

Dimensions

You can define base width, base height and height of the column. The base width field is always enabled and in the case of a circular column it defines the diameter of the column.

The base height field is only enabled when the current family is Rectangular column.

The Height field is used for the total height of the column from the base level.

Graphic Attributes

The Graphic Attributes section is divided into two sub-sections: Borders and Fill.

Borders

You can define the line type and the pen weight of the border line of the column in plan view.

Fill

You can add a fill to the column and define:

A solid fill color
A vector hatch or pattern and set its color and scale factor.

The fill can use either one of the two fill modes or a combination of the two.
