Position columns, pad footings, and orthogonal beams
For parts that you create by picking only one point (such as columns), you can define the top and bottom level of the part in the global z direction. The part is created at the defined level, not at the level you picked in the model. This can be useful when creating multi-story structures, as you can define exact levels for each part you create.
To define the top and bottom levels of a part:
Example
In this example, the concrete columns form a two-story structure. To position the upper columns correctly, you must modify their bottom level position.
(1) Top level = 1000, Bottom level = 0
(2) Top level = 1700, Bottom level = 1200
(3) Slab thickness = 200
