Thickened ceiling strips
I'm looking to create a thickened ceiling strip with a column at the end to support the load of a wall above it on the 2nd floor. \is this done through a pass through?

I can only assume (since you did not tell US what software you are using) that you want to do something similar to the attached screen shot? If so you should have a soffit tool in the build cabinet dialogue. You can place soffits, set their height-depth-width, height to the bottom from the finished floor, and then place columns from the library or from the 3D warehouse possibly.

Can you attach an image of what you are referring to? I suspect that BB boy's recommendation regarding soffits is spot on, but not being familiar with the term "thickened ceiling strip" it's difficult to say.

You can achieve this effect quite simply by using a soffit
for the "thickened" portion of the ceiling and then putting
a column under the end. In this case I used a "vertical
cylinder" from the Shapes/Cylinders in the library browser.Last edited by Rich Winsor; 04-08-2014 at 09:14 PM.

Thank you very much. This will do it. What I was trying to model is a car port.
Does the core library have colums?
I'm new to this software. I have HD Arch. 2014
