Creating pillars

The Pillar command converts any closed 2D shape—rectangle, circle, oval, or polygon—into a pillar. In addition, use it on open 2D shapes, such as lines and polylines, to create a flat, screen-like object. These objects include such things as movie screens, room dividers, and moving walls. Once created, a pillar can be joined to a wall.

To create a pillar:

Click the object to convert.

Select the command.

The Pillar Preferences dialog box opens.

Enter a pillar height.

To edit the pillar after creation, select Modify > Edit Pillar. See Object editing mode.
