Hi, I get wrong dimesions on column labels with profiled cross section.

Has anyone else experienced the same situation?

With the Dimension Label I get the same error but only when using a complex profile. You should report this to your support provider.

Hi Takis,

Just quick question. Did you remember to set the nominal width and height parameters in your profile? Perhaps it somehow got dislocated and the label gets the data from them?

Cheers,
Łukasz

Dear Lukasz, yes off course I checked it. With a rectangular complex cross section it is difficult to make mistake with the nominal dimensions.

Please try it.

Hi Takis,

You're right I should've checked before writing, sorry about that. I thought that maybe there is some simple solution to that problem but apparently not.

It behaves as you've described it. I just went a little deeper into the issue and it appears that with the beam tool Dimension Label shows correct values. In the image below I've applied the same complex profile to beam and column.

Cheers,
Łukasz
