The thickness column will calculate the thickness for intermediate sections based on the linear interpolation of the thicknesses defined for top and bottom sections. You can edit the thickness as per the required information. Tip: You can further edit the tower by looking in the Tower Model Explorer pane and expanding Physical Model > Objects > Sections . Clicking on each section will show its properties in the Properties pane where edits can be made. 8. In the Model ribbon tab click the Save tool. Your work so far has been saved.
