Square Column

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below the description for more information.
The Flat Faced Square Column

What is it? A column, flat side, and square profile. It comes in white but I included three recolours in rendered white, brownish and light brick

What does it do? It columns.

Does it have any special features? Umm..it holds things like floors up

The mesh is called FlatfaceColumn-[darylmarkloc-26.1.obj

Since it is cloned from a standard Maxis column, I doubt it needs an EP.

It appears in Build Mode under 'Columns'

You can do whatever you like with it as far as giving it away with your lots or adapting it or recolouring, just link back here if you post them....and maybe let me know, so I can have a peek, too

No pay sites, please, unless it is given as a free download with a link back here.

Faces: 196 Vertices: 408, mostly because the edges are bevelled a little.

I decided to tackle making an object because I needed a particular shape column and the excellent Trianon one wasn't quite what I wanted and I couldn't find one I didn't have to buy or was allowed to recolour.

My thanks to IgnorantBliss for advising me on why it was transparent in places and to Lethe for pointing out the quirk in Blender that made it so.

Enjoy, with coffee

mike19 - I've seen those used as garden ornaments when I lived in Salisbury, Wilts. I've made exactly 1 object in my life (we won't talk about the first attempt) but what the heck..it'll be good practice trying

if you can make them that would be absolutely fantastic. Also if you were to manage to get them so that they can be built on that'll be brilliant.

and i live 25 miles or so from salisbury. thats where my local hospital is
