Delta X/Delta Y | For rectangular columns, X and Y offset is entered. When a positive (+) value is entered for X offset, the column moves horizontally to the left. If a negative (-) value is entered, it shifts to the right. If a positive (+) value is entered for Y offset, the column moves vertically upwards, if a negative (-) value is entered, the column moves downwards.  |
Growth Limits
| If the column dimensions are changed in rectangular columns, the directions in which the column can grow and shrink are determined by these parameters. Columns can grow and shrink in the directions indicated by the ticked boxes. In addition, the marking here determines the growth direction of the column in the column application.
     |
Upper elevation/Elevation | Upper elevation and Elevation parameters are used to shorten or extend the column from the top and bottom. As long as zero is left, column elevation general settings are taken as the floor height given in the diagram. In this case, the column bottom joint is on the floor floor and the upper node is on the floor ceiling.  |
Shear | Determines the horizontal distance between the column top and bottom nodes. A value is entered here to define an inclined column. |
Plaster | If plaster will be drawn on the columns, it is marked. If this option is selected, plaster is drawn around the column as much as the value entered in the Plaster Thickness line. The color of the drawn plaster can be adjusted in the Plaster Color line. When other plaster assignable elements such as column walls are combined, plaster combinations are made automatically and excess lines at intersections are cleaned. Since plasters are architectural objects, column plasters are not drawn in Formwork Plan mode. |
Plaster thickness, color, line type
| The plaster thickness to be drawn in the plan is entered. It is valid if the "Plaster" option is checked. If this option is not checked, no plaster is drawn on the columns. Column plasters are drawn only in Architectural Plan mode. Since plasters are architectural objects, column plasters are not drawn in Formwork Plan mode. The plaster color of the column is selected from the color palette that appears when you click. The line type of the line visible in the plan of the column plaster can be selected from the list. |

The program automatically calculates zero values and accepts non-zero entries as much as the entered value. |
This column is a support for a cantilever slab | This option can be selected if the column console is the support of a floor. Otherwise, it should not be marked. |
Circular column stirrup type | When the stirrup is selected, only stirrup design will be made in the circle column. When the stirrup - crosstie is chosen, it means that both stirrup design will be made in the circle column and the vertical reinforcements will be connected to each other with cryst. |
Bottom end embracement region length | Column winding zones are found automatically according to the matters specified in the earthquake regulations. Stirrup tightening is made in the hugging areas. When the find a program option is selected, automatic adjustment is made to the regulation conditions. However, it may be desirable to arrange the length of the lower confinement zone at a different value, for example, for basements or columns to which high walls are connected. In this case, by entering the value in the Defined line, the lower end of the column can be formed in the desired length. If the length value gives the column length, the stirrup tightening is done in the column completely. |
Column free span length (ln) calculation | The column free height is determined automatically according to the geometry of the elements. In some special cases, the desired clear opening value can be entered manually by using the defined option. |
Mason reinforcement attachment | This option is activated if it is desired to make anchoring reinforcement attachment instead of lap joint in the columns. The confounding value is entered in the staggering distance box for the coupling application. |
Multiple stirrup design | If it is checked, it means that the program can design double stirrups in the column. Double stirrup design is determined automatically depending on the size of the column and the number of vertical reinforcements. In cases where a double stirrup design is not made in the column, a tie-break design is made according to the regulations. |
Always detail outside in the app | When the option is selected, the column is not detailed on-site in the column application plan, instead the column is drawn as a scaled plan view. The detail expansion is also shown on the sheet edge. |

No modification: The amount of material to be assigned for the object in question is marked when it is desired to be used in the size that was previously specified in the material definition.
Percentage: This line is marked when it is desired to be used with the percentage of the amount previously determined in the material definition, as much as the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog. For example, if the material quantity is 70, if the line “Value 1” says 40, it means the material amount will be used up to 40 * 70%.
Override: This line is marked so that the quantity entered in the “Value 1” line in the same dialog will be used instead of the quantity previously determined in the material definition.
Multiplier: This line is marked in order to use the value found at the end of the multiplication of the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog with the amount previously determined in the material definition.
Fraction: This line is marked so that the amount determined in the material definition before will be used as the fraction value created by the values entered in the "Value 1" and "Value 2" lines in the same dialog. "Value 1" is the denominator "Value 2" is the denominator.
Proportional to: It is determined to what scale-area, circumference, length etc.-, region-side area, top, edge etc.- the material will be proportioned to. The content of the proportional list box is automatically determined according to the object and the size of the material. For example, a different list will be created if an operation is made for the column, a different list will be created for the library, a different list for the volume, and a different list for the field.
The lines that appear in the Proportion list according to the column object and material size are as follows.
