will I am studying architecture and I did this project and then they asked us to make a grid to put columns on it and I am having issues making that grid in the pics there is the floor plan and some 3d shots to see how the building is
Column grids do not have to be orthogonal but they need to be rational to some extent. If you can keep the grids at even spacing or within a range of 20-30' that is a workable solution. Simple with as few bays as possible aligning columns with major opening and edges while keeping columns clear of the key functional areas. The goals is to have repetition in the structural members wherever possible. The example below uses grids that are parallel to the exterior walls lining up lines of columns wherever possible.
Good Luck

so can I change the shape of the column in the way I want ? and in the grid I should put a column in each intersect or I can skip some intersects ??
Try to keep the beams as simple and consistent as possible. if you can work it out that the spacing in one direction is 30' and the other 25 then that is simple for a structural engineer to calculate.

hello every one :)

any ideas or help :)
thaaanx a lot in advance.

1) Draw straight lines
2) Draw other straight lines
3) Make columns where they intersect.
See if you can find a right-angle in your design. Work from there.
Kids these days...
I did that it has been refused by the instructor
and in my design I have different angels
Make sure the columns are bent to follow the walls as you change levels.
I will call it the JP building
I love that the elevators are tucked away in the top right leaving the entire 1st floor of the left building inaccessible unless they go outside.
it is a mixed use building they asked us to have supermarket and offices so I thought it would be a good idea to separate the two buildings

thaanx again :)
Will I am?
can I put the columns that way or they should be 90 degree ??
thaaanx u really helped me I will send u a post after I done to take the notes when ever ur free
make 'em round and they'll always line up ;)
