Creating Structural Columns - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Structural elements such as beams, braces, and isolated foundations join to structural columns; they do not
join to architectural columns.

Creating Structural Columns

Typically, drawings or models received from an architect may contain a grid and architectural columns. You
create structural columns by manually placing each column or by using the By Grid tool to add a column
to selected grid intersections.
Structural columns can be created in plan or 3D views.
Adding columns in 3D View
It is helpful to set up a grid before adding structural columns, as they snap to grid lines (see
on page 1033).
