AC24 how to change rectangle columns section width and height?

I can create a rectangle column, but don't know how to change section width and height, AC24:

void Do_CreateColumn (void) { API_Coord point; if (!ClickAPoint ("Pick a point", &point)) { return; } API_Element element; API_ElementMemo memo; BNClear (element); BNClear (memo); element.header.typeID = API_ColumnID; // set as a column GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Element_GetDefaults (&element, &memo); //get current setting if (err != NoError) { ACAPI_WriteReport ("ACAPI_Element_GetDefaults (Column) has failed with error code %ld!", true, err); ACAPI_DisposeElemMemoHdls (&memo); return; } element.column.origoPos = point; element.column.bottomOffset = -0.05; element.column.topOffset = -0.05; element.column.axisRotationAngle = 45; //rotate memo.elemInfoString = new GS::UniString("KZ-1"); //uset ID err = ACAPI_Element_Create (&element, &memo); //create the column if (err != NoError) { ACAPI_WriteReport ("ACAPI_Element_Create (Column) has failed with error code %ld!", true, err); } char buffer[65]; sprintf(buffer, "%s%d", "Column Segment:", element.column.nSegments); //1 segment in fact MessageBox(NULL, buffer, "Grand", 0); //display how many segments //modify section width and height ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand 进程中----------------------------- ????how to change the section width and height of this column ??? ACAPI_DisposeElemMemoHdls (&memo); } // Do_CreateColumn

I had to go back and look at my notes and still didn't figure it out. I don't know how the define a segment column and a column without segments.

But you can use a single segment column by using the memo fields and set nsegments as 1;

then use:

element.header.typeID = API_ColumnID; GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Element_GetDefaults (&element, &memo); element.column.origoPos = point; element.column.nSegments = 1; memo.columnSegments[0].assemblySegmentData.buildingMaterial = ??; memo.columnSegments[0].assemblySegmentData.nominalHeight = ??; memo.columnSegments[0].assemblySegmentData.nominalWidth = ??; memo.columnSegments[0].assemblySegmentData.modelElemStructureType = API_BasicStructure; or ???

For more nsegments change the index of columnsegment in memo
