Override Surface: Click to override the surfaces assigned to this column or segment in its Building Material:

Top and Bottom Surfaces

Side (Extrusion) Surfaces

Note: For Columns placed with the Wrapped method, the choice you make here is overridden by the surfaces of the Walls that they intersect. (See 3D Display of Wrapped Columns.)

Note: For a Profile Column, you can also apply a Custom surface to any edge(s) of the profile element. (See Apply Custom Surface or Line to Profile Edge.)

Custom Texture Alignment: If this message is activated, it indicates that the currently selected column (already placed in the project) has been assigned a custom 3D texture.

In this case, you can click Reset Texture to restore the origin of the Texture of the selected column or segment.

For more information, see Align 3D Texture.
