Can't change the pen number on the Column tool

Anonymous
Not applicable
For some reason the option to change the pen number on the core line pen is greyed out. I have the latest update and library. What's going on?

I'm using a square column with contrained proportions and no veneer.

As you do not have a separate core and veneer, the program uses just the veneer pens for the column.

Yes, but HOW can I change this? I've tried changing everything and NOTHING changes my thick outline!

You know, I think that this is a NEW bug that Graphisoft just introduced with their latest Hotfix! And of course one can NEVER get through to their technical support (despite having Subscription Plus). Extremely annoying!!!!!
