End Cuts
Define the angle of the Column’s Top and Bottom surfaces: horizontal, vertical or custom.
Note: Vertical available for slanted Beam only.
You can also edit this geometry graphically:
–Select a Column in 3D. Click on its end surface, then choose Rotate Join Angle from the pet palette.
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.
