Align a column to a specific angle or an angled grid line

You can align a column to a specific angle or a grid line before creating the column. Once created an existing column can be realigned by editing the angle in the Properties window.

Do one of the following:
- To create a new column, on the Model tab, select the desired column type.
- To align an existing column to a specific angle, in the model, click the desired column.
In the Properties window, click the Rotation property.
In the list, select one of the following options:
- The 0°, 90°, 180°, and -90° options align the column to the global axes.
- The Angle option aligns the column to the exact rotation angle you specify.
- The Define option aligns the column to the angle of any grid line you select. (Applies to new columns only).
