# Link Column
This command links Rebar Configuration with the selected Structural Column Type. Choose which configuration should be used on each Type. Only after linking configuration to column Type, you can use the Create Rebar command.
There are two ways how rebar configurations can be linked to a column type.
***
### Option 1:
1. Create Rebar Configuration.
2. Select Structural Column element in the model and click **Link Column.**
3. In the following dialog window, assign configuration for each Type which should be reinforced.
Now you can use the **Create Rebar** command for this Structural Column Type, which already has configurations assigned through the Column Link.
***
### Option 2:
1. Open the **Configuration window.**
2. Open the **Link Column** tab.
3. Assign the configuration to the **column type.**
4. Click **Save** at the bottom of the Configuration window.

**Difference between Save (1) and Save (2) (for clearance – see image below):**
* **Save (1):** Saves only the configuration.
* **Save (2):** Saves both the configuration and any changes made within the **Link Column** tab.
