Creating a splayed column

Brad Elliott

I can't believe I haven't done this before or can't figure out how but I want to create a splayed (double pitched) column. Please see the enclosed plan view. What is the easiest way to do this?

Back to this issue...
Actually its not an issue...
I've just discovered that the rotation parameter in the Column Settings do the job perfectly...
So... No need to built complex profiles to achieve splayed columns...
