Update Column Drawing
Use BimSpeed.STR → Column → Update Column Drawing from a drawing view. The active view determines update scope; arbitrary 3D or plan views are not accepted.
Workflow
- Save As before updating manually edited drawings. Open a longitudinal Section, cross-section Detail, or sheet with suitable viewports.
- In a longitudinal section choose All columns or Pick columns. All columns uses visible columns; Pick columns requires selection and Finish.
- A cross-section Detail must contain exactly one visible column. Incorrect direction, no column or multiple columns are rejected.
- On a sheet select cross-section viewports. The sheet branch rejects longitudinal viewports and requires at least one valid cross-section.
- Edit enabled settings and Run. Compare tags, dimensions, crop, view counts and manual edits, then save the RVT.

| Cross Settings | enabled group | Enabled for cross-section updates; longitudinal and other settings are disabled. |
