Modifying the Slant of Placed Structural Columns

This procedure will slant vertical columns or adjust existing slanted columns using the Properties palette, and column modification tools.

1. Open a 3D View of your project.
2. Select the column to be modified.
   
3. On the Properties palette, under Constraints, select a slanted column style, Slanted - End Point Driven or Slanted - Angle Driven, to define how the slant angle can be adjusted.
   NoteOther slanted column properties are available. See Structural Column Instance Properties.
4. Click Apply.
5. Adjust the position of the top of the column with the column endpoint control. If the column is set to Slanted - End Point Driven, you adjust the elevation of the top of the column using the vertical arrow or text controls.
