There is also a cylinder library part that might work for you.

thnx, but: about cylinder library part - where can i find it? And about profile: i tried to make a circle in profile with profile manager tool. Yes it works, but i cant change it radius, it's constant value 😕

You can find library objects using the "find library parts" option in the object settings pulldown.... then enter a keyword

Yikes!

If you are making round columns, they are right there in the column tool.

Once you make ANY custom profile, that profile CAN be edited - ie: radius change - not directly in plan like a wall can, say, but only by editing in profile manager. That is why they made it boss of the profiles.

and by stretching up the profile e.g: in 3D window

True. Stretching constraints CAN be removed, but it seems incautious for the architectural environment - unless you are just playing around.
