Polygon column  Runs the polygon column command. Draws the polygon column selected in the polygon column settings. In order to draw the desired polygon column, first enter the polygon column settings and select the relevant column here, or if there is no such column in the polygon column library, it should be drawn in the polygon column settings and added to the polygon column library. |
Column support  Draws the column support. Column support is an element used in non-beam slab systems. |
Default aligned column  Draws columns according to the current aligned values in the column settings dialog. It can also be operated by pressing the 1 key on the keyboard while in column mode. |
Left middle aligned column  It is used to define a rectangular column just aside without entering the column settings. The column node is located at the midpoint of the left side of the column. For a column that is adjacent to the other side, it is necessary to enter the dimensions of the column in reverse. (e.g. 25/50 instead of 50/25). It can also be operated by pressing the 2 key on the keyboard while in column mode. |
Corner aligned column  It is used to define a rectangular column defined from the corner without entering the column settings. By default, the column node is located in the upper left corner of the column. It can also be operated by pressing the 3 key on the keyboard while in column mode. |
Centered column  Convenience for centered column. The node is located in the middle of the column. It can also be operated by pressing the 4 key on the keyboard while in column mode. |
Mirror X  When clicked, it takes the mirror of the column with respect to the local X axis. The same can be done by pressing the space-bar key on the keyboard. |
Change jacket edge  In concrete projects, it makes a jacket to the column element or changes the thickness of a jacket made. |
Reset jacket edge  In reinforcement projects, it removes the jacket of the sheathed column element. |
Column size boxes  Dimension values for the rectangular column are entered in these boxes. The dimensions of the column to be drawn can be adjusted here without entering the column settings. While drawing the column, dimensions can also be changed after the first click on the plan where the column virtual image is created. The change made is immediately reflected on the drawing. |
Settings  Opens the column settings dialog. This dialog contains parameters related to the columns. There is also a transition from within the dialog to the Polygon Column Settings dialog, which contains additional parameters for polygon columns. |
