# Using the Shape Data Popup to Set Elevations for a Column

You can use the *Shape Data* popup to set a Column's elevations.

To use the *Shape Data* popup to set a Column's elevations:

1. Right-click the Column shape and select **Shape Data** from the **Data** sub-menu.

The *Shape Data* popup appears.  
As necessary:
2. Click in the **Top elevation** text field and enter a new value.
3. Click in the **Bottom elevation** text field and enter a new value.

**Note:** If the Column has no Walls connected to it, ignore the **Use Pilaster Forms** dropdown. This option is only valid when Columns are connected to Walls, in which case they are Pilasters. (Refer to [*Working with Pilasters*](/v1/docs/working-with-pilasters) for more information.)

**Note:** If Formwork design dictates splitting a Column into several parts, the design may sometimes include Ties.
