    Default Structural columns

    Structural columns should be separated into Steel Columns, Concrete Columns, Concrete and Masonry Piers, etc. for better scheduling. Footings should attach to the bottom of a pier instead of the bottom of the steel column. Now if the steel column is placed before the concrete pier footings attach to the bottom of the steel column and have to be moved to the bottom of pier.

    Nice call, Jon - anything that removes a step or two...

    Default Re: Structural columns

    You should also be able to attach a column to the top of another column.
    Also would be nice if you could attach a column to a wall. I know you could do this with using ref planes and link column/walls to it but I believe you should be able to attach a column more than just slabs/floor.

    Thanks
