Creating Pillars

The Pillar command converts any closed 2D shape—rectangle, circle, oval, or polygon—into a pillar. In addition, use it on open 2D shapes, such as lines and polylines, to create a flat, screen-like object. These objects include such things as movie screens, room dividers, and moving walls. Once created, a pillar can be joined to a wall. Create pillars in 2D Top/Plan view.

To create a pillar:

1.	Select View > Standard Views > Top/Plan.

2.	Click on the 2D object to convert.

3.	Select Model > AEC > Pillar.

The Pillar Preferences dialog box opens.

4.	Enter a pillar height.

5.

Click OK.

To view the new pillar, change to a 3D projection mode.
