Reference Axis of Core

Choose one of the nine points to serve as the Column’s Reference Axis.

If you modify the Reference axis: the axis stays in place while the Column moves accordingly.

Note: Available only if at least one Column segment has a rectangular or circular cross-section. Not available for complex profiles.

Axis Rotation: Set a rotation angle for the Column around its axis.
