It'll have a Z height, looks like default is layer wall height.
Go to its settings dialogue, "3D attributes" tab.
Change "set attributes:" from "object" to "class".
The column immediately flips to zero height (even if you don't change the "class" from the default) and the "start bound" and "end bound" dropdowns in the OIP are blanked out.
Is this a known bug?
***edited to add:
(1) with column same seems to happen if I change "set attributes" to "class" in the 2D attributes tab,
(2) the beam version of the structural member tool survives these processes.
(3) setting "2D attributes" by class seems to have no effect on rendering of beam in top/plan view. Only setting the class of the object itself achieves this.
(4) with beam, having changed 3d attributes to "class" I can't seem to then change them back to by "object"

Try this in blank document:
Create a column with the structural member tool.
It'll have a Z height, looks like default is layer wall height.
Go to its settings dialogue, "3D attributes" tab.
Change "set attributes:" from "object" to "class".
The column immediately flips to zero height (even if you don't change the "class" from the default) and the "start bound" and "end bound" dropdowns in the OIP are blanked out.

SP3 had huge changes for this tool listed in it's release notes, and I got quite excited to start using it again. Either we're all using it wrong, and therefore could do with a tutorial vi

SP3 release notes included a myriad of extra love and fixes especially for Structural Members. Haven't needed and used them so far since SP3, but I was convinced SM would be one of the most

I saw duplicates in my limited testing too. I'm not sure I could recreate it reliably though. Kevin
