Floor Plan Symbol

Symbol Type: Plain, Slash, X, or Crosshair

Note: For a profiled column, only the Plain and crosshair symbols are available. The crosshair symbolizes the column’s axis and will revolve along with the column cross section.

Crosshair has two additional settings: Distance From Center and Length Outside Column

Although the crosshair is a graphic symbol and not part of the model, the crosshair will be resized (together with the column itself) if you change the drawing’s scale.

Set display (on or off) of column floor plan symbols by view at Document > Model View > Model View Options.
