why would the attached column behave as it does?

Model menu:     column:     wood timber column:     inserted "5 x 5".

 depth and width from "type properties" indicates it should be 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".  on sheet it measures 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

same with other columns inserted from same location

Open the family and check the parameters.

thanks,

one other question;  the "insertion point" was never aligned with a corner of the post. 

I haven't at this point figured out how to adjust the location of the insertion point.

Can this also be done from the family editor?

I think I found it under defines origin?

  1. On the Family Editor Design Bar, click Ref Plane.
  2. Sketch the reference plane.
  3. Click Modify and select the reference plane.
  4. Click .
  5. In the Element Properties dialog, select the check box for Defines Origin.
