# Creating a 6 ft Tube with Building Objects in Avontus Designer

In this article we’ll show you can create any shape (called building objects), include them in the bill of materials, and drop them into the stencil to be re-used any time. In this example, we are going to create 6 ft tube.

1. Drag in **Beam**

1. Set the **Projected Length** to 6ft
2. Set the **Start** and **End Elevation** to 2m
3. Set **Section Type** to Tube
4. Set **Height** and **Width** to 48.3mm
5. Set Wall Thickness to 4mm
6. Set **Vertical Alignment** to Bottom

We can now view the part in the 3D view.
