AC 19, how to get HSS 3D columns

Anonymous
Not applicable
In Library 19, Steel Shapes 19, object DET_TS_Shape 19 shows in plan as an HSS column, but entering a height as per attachment does not produce an HSS 3D column of the specified height. How do I get column objects that can be set to required length/width/height? Thanks

Michael,

The library part you have selected is a 2D part intended to be used in a 2D detailing window. You will have to select a 3D steel column section from the Metal folder. See attached.

Cheers,
