Hi Guys & Gals, might be a rookie question, but here goes… In elements, I have dropped in a 2 column from the Core pack, I want to make the first column smaller in width than the 2nd column. I have tried searching for the answer and am unsuccessful in achieving this without creating a custom component. Is there an easier way to achieve this? I unfortunately feel I’m missing something and would appreciate any assistance with this. See screenshots attached. Thanks in advance. ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 11.35.39 am](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/1/a1dd6d872f3f03aaf11bcd2f04df0d00da82a4e3.png) ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 11.35.18 am](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/d/6d473c7b79a0ac4ec11ddf1cfdf62dab21ff9d6d.jpeg) ---

Hi @gthinx I’m not sure what the “2 column from the Core pack” is referring to. There is no component called “2 column”, is this a template? Might be easier if you could [share a link to your project via Elements Cloud](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/getting-started/elements-cloud#sharing-projects). That way we can easily see how you have everything set up 🙂 ---

Easiest way that comes to mind is drop a grid of 10 columns on the page. Place 2 containers as grid items into the grid, and set one to 7 columns and one to 3 columns. Voila, 70/30 2 column layout. ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 07.58.40](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/0/c08a538f8572a348a0d99165b228acff81519ac3.png) ---

@gthinx, you’ll need to set the grid to have more columns, then use containers on the inner items to specify how much space they take up. Here’s a quick video to show you how to do it: ---

Hi Ben, it may well be a template, I found the 2 column in a list in the core pack, see attached image for reference. ![Screenshot 2026-06-04 at 9.17.11 am](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/3/1/312f3c5d138b2f9fb25477e3025210dcabebf582.png) ---
