Generate more complex beam and columns from Grasshopper

Hi guys, as i'm at home, coz of the corona virus spreading around, i'm working on this project,
i scripted it in grasshopper, as i do all the time i generated morphs to create the modules in archicad
BUT
i want more parametric controle, i could't figure how to generate the same shape using column and beam tools, as you see there there is sloped ends,
i want even to add segments to the beams so i can get a 30%of leght of the beam constant, and 70% with different end thickness
I want to add modifiers to the beam and column sections and controle them in a parametric way too
is there any way to do that !

Hi guys , complex profile stretchers exist in grasshopper in a hidden place hhhhhh
it's under complex profile parameter input, right click on it and you get all complew profile modifiers,
That's cool ! but please make things more clear so work timou would be shorter thanks

Thank you !
that's it ! , i have to say that the shape i posted in the top of the post is from a quick tutorial posted on my Facebook profile, my simple videos about the grasshopper conncetion made a lot of people fall in love with ArchiCAD how simple and easy to manipulate parametric design

I can't find the link to that video. It would be immensely useful as we are struggling to work out how to define a tapered beam in GH and then have that exported to Archicad via the link. Could you point us in the right direction? Thanks
