Create a Multi-Segment Column

Set up a Column that consists of multiple segments, with a configurable “Join” component between them.

To create Column segments, use either the Settings dialog or graphical interactions. Both methods are described below.

Note:

  • Each segment has its own Classifications and Properties settings and its own Element ID. However, Category definitions (e.g. Renovation status) are inherited from the element level.
  • Find & Select, Labels, Info Box, and Interactive Element Schedule fields can use segment-specific data
