No presets are loaded when using Column tool.

Hi. I was trying to learn BIM workflow from a YouTube channel recommended in the FreeCAD BIM Wiki and got stuck on a problem. When he in tutorial press the Column tool 9:20 in this YT clip. He is in the end producing a HEB500 by selecting.

Category: HCB
Preset: HEB500...

And then places the column randomly on the screen. Ass soon as that happens a item shows in the 3D viewer and in the tree view.

But for me I just get a empty cube that I can not delete. There are no error messages.

Is that a bug or more likely I did some thing wrong?

I just checked, everything works fine here... Probably there is something wrong in your workflow.. Make sure:

Nothing is selected before you start the column command
You set the correct preset
The height is not zero
THEN you either click a point in the 3D view to place the column or you enter coordinates then press enter
No error message appears afterwards in the report view

This became solved with the newest version of FreeCAD. Do not know what changed. Thanks for the comment.
