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​

  1. Save As before updating manually edited drawings. Open a longitudinal Section, cross-section Detail, or sheet with suitable viewports.
  2. In a longitudinal section choose All columns or Pick columns. All columns uses visible columns; Pick columns requires selection and Finish.
  3. A cross-section Detail must contain exactly one visible column. Incorrect direction, no column or multiple columns are rejected.
  4. On a sheet select cross-section viewports. The sheet branch rejects longitudinal viewports and requires at least one valid cross-section.
  5. Edit enabled settings and Run. Compare tags, dimensions, crop, view counts and manual edits, then save the RVT.
